$III$

Vedclass · Answer

(C) In structure $III$,the oxygen atom has a positive charge but it has a complete octet because it forms three bonds (two single and one double bond) and has one lone pair. In structures $I$ and $II$,the carbon atom with the positive charge has an incomplete octet (only $6$ electrons). Since structure $III$ has a complete octet for all atoms,it is the most stable canonical structure.

The most stable canonical structure among the given structures is:
