The correct order of decreasing stability of the following carbocations is:

I \( \begin{aligned} &~~~~~~~~~~~~\oplus\\ & CH_3 - CH-CH_3 \end{aligned}\)
II \( \begin{aligned} &~~~~~~~~~~~~\oplus\\ & CH_3 - CH-OCH_3\end{aligned}\)
III \( \begin{aligned} & ~~~~~~~~~~~~\oplus\\ &CH_3 - CH-CH_2- OCH_3\end{aligned}\)
 
1. II > I > III 2. I > II > III
3. II < I < III 4. I < II < III
