Canvas Classes · Accepted Answer

Step 1: Checking for Conjugation
Resonance stabilization occurs when a positive charge is adjacent to a double bond or a lone pair.
- (A) Benzyl Cation: Stabilized by the phenyl ring resonance. (True)
- (B) Allyl Cation: Stabilized by one double bond. (True)
- (C) Cyclic Non-conjugated: The charge is not adjacent to the double bond. (False)
- (D) Beta-keto system: The double bond is in conjugation with the positive charge. (True)

Step 2: Conclusion
(A), (B), and (D) are resonance-stabilized.
