Carbocation stability

Shouldn't the answer for this one be 4? I was under the impression III had more stability than I because it's a 3° carbocation more i effect and more a-H etc than I

Should be 4 Tert-butyl carbocation has 9 alpha hydrogens which dominates allylic carbocation (experimental)

think about a cation like this - an empty p orbital. then go figure where electrons could come from to stabilise this

nothing beats resonance unless there are cases like sterric hindrance, dancing reso, angle strain etc
