    Given below are two statements: Statement I: (CH3)3C⊕\left( {CH}_{3} \right)_{3}\overset{\oplus}{C} is more stable than C⊕H3\overset{\oplus}{C}H_{3} as nine hyperconjugation interactions are possible in (CH3)3C⊕\left( {CH}_{3} \right)_{3}\overset{\oplus}{C}. Statement II: C⊕H3\overset{\oplus}{C}H_{3} is less stable than (CH3)3C⊕\left( {CH}_{3} \right)_{3}\overset{\oplus}{C} as only three hyperconjugation interactions are possible in C⊕H3\overset{\oplus}{C}H_{3}. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
