The following carbocation is stabilized by the interaction of the empty p orbital with
Detailed Solution
The empty p orbital of the benzylic carbocation $C_6H_5\overset{+}{C}HCH_3$ is stabilised by hyperconjugation with the filled C-H $\sigma$ orbitals of $CH_3$ and by resonance with the filled $\pi$ orbitals of the benzene ring.
