    Which of the following statements is correct?

    A) \[+\,l\]effect stabilizes a carbanion

    B) \[+\,\,l\] effect stabilizes a carbocation

    C) \[-\,\,l\] effect stabilizes a carbanion

    D) \[-\,\,l\]effect stabilizes a carbocation

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Positive inductive effect (\[+\,l\]effect) is arises due to electron releasing group (y). It develops negative charge on chain and exerts a positive inductive effect. \[\overset{\delta -}{\mathop{C}}\,\overset{\delta +}{\mathop{y}}\,\] Therefore,\[+\,\,l\]effect tends to decrease positive charge and tends to increase stability.
