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.

  • A
    Statement $I$ is true but Statement $II$ is false
  • B
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are true
