Detailed Solution

1…..stabilised by resonance….positive charge dispersal on three benzene rings;

2….stabilized by hyperconjugation……six H.C hydrogen atoms;

3…..stabilised by resonance and hyperconjugation….positive charge dispersal on two benzene rings and it has three H.C hydrogen atoms;

4….stabilized by hyperconjugation….seven H.C hydrogen atoms;

Thus option 1 is most stable……it is most resonance stabilized;
