α 1No.of charges 
α No. of octet atoms (or) No. of covalent bonds
α -ve / +ve charge stability
α distance b/w charges
D is most stable as all atoms are octet.
C is least stable as oxygen has only 6e- (Non-octet oxygen canonicals do not form)
Between A and B, A is less stable due to repulsions b/w L.P. of ‘N’ and CΘ
