Stability of carbocation is explained by using many factors such as mesomeric effect, inductive effect and hyperconjugation effect.
Order of stability is +M>+X>+I
Benzyl carbocation (iii) is most stable because of delocalisation of charge due to resonance of π-electron in the ring.
Allylic carbocation (i) is stable due to delocalisation of electrons on carbon atoms.
Due to electron donating group attached in ethyl carbocation, it is lesser stable than allylic carbocation.
Isobutyl carbocation (iv) is least stable due to lesser two electron donating group attached into carbocation. So, it will decrease more stable than ethyl.
Stability order is as follows
