(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
(E)
E < D < C < B < A

As we learnt in
Stability of Carbocation -
Electron donating group stabilises carbocation
- wherein
Inductive effect
Hyper Conjugation resonance
Greater the number of electron donating alkyl group (+I) effect, greater is the stability of carbocation + I effect is in the order.
