The correct order of the relative stability of the following carbanions is:
$I$. $HC \equiv C^{-}$
$II$. $CH_2=CH-CH_2^{-}$
$III$. $H_2C=CH^{-}$
$IV$. $(C_6H_5)_2CH^{-}$

What is the order of stability of the following carbocations?
$(X). CH_3 - \overset{\oplus}{C}H - CH_3$
$(Y). CH_3 - \overset{\oplus}{C}H - OCH_3$
$(Z). CH_3 - \overset{\oplus}{C}H - COCH_3$

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: $(CH_3)_3C^{+}$ is more stable than $CH_3^{+}$ as nine hyperconjugation interactions are possible in $(CH_3)_3C^{+}$.
Statement $II$: $CH_3^{+}$ is less stable than $(CH_3)_3C^{+}$ as only three hyperconjugation interactions are possible in $CH_3^{+}$.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below.
