Detailed Solution
⇒ Structures (a) and (b) are quite stable because every atom has complete octet⇒Structures (c) and (d) are less stable than (a) and (b), because in these every atom does not have complete octet.⇒Structure (d) is stabilized by resonance, which is not possible in (c). Therefore (c) is least stable.
