Question

Given below are two statements:
Statement I: $\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_3 \stackrel{\oplus}{\mathrm{C}}$ is more stable than $\stackrel{\oplus}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}_3$ as nine hyperconjugation interactions are possible in $\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_3 \stackrel{\oplus}{\mathrm{C}}$.
Statement II: $\stackrel{\oplus}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}_3$ is less stable than $\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_3 \stackrel{\oplus}{\mathrm{C}}$ as only three hyperconjugation interactions are possible in $\stackrel{\oplus}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}_3$.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

Select the correct option:

Statement I is true but Statement II is false

Both Statement I and Statement II are true

Both Statement I and Statement II are false

Statement I is false but Statement II is true
