Consider the following compounds Hyperconjugation occurs in:

Consider the following compounds Hyperconjugation occurs in:
A I only
B II only
C III only
D I and III

Detailed Solution

Hyperconjugation needs $\alpha$-H atoms on a carbon attached to the radical carbon.
In I the radical carbon is attached to a quaternary carbon and a phenyl group (no $\alpha$-H); in II it carries three phenyl groups (no $\alpha$-H).
Only III has $\alpha$-H, so hyperconjugation occurs in III only.
