    D)  \[-I\] group stabilises a free radical

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[+I\]group (i.e., electron donating groups) stabilised the carbocation. \[+I\] and \[-I\] groups destabilised the carbanion and carbocations respectively. \[+I\] groups stabilised the free radicals but \[-I\] group destabilised them.
