Dear Kunal
 
Ch3-ch2+ will be more stable but its stability is arising from lack of double bonds rather charge.  
Stability goes like this. 

Alkanes>alkenes>alkynes 

Because it is easy to break the double bond or triple bond than a single bond.  And,  breaking bonds releases energy, that is why ethylene/acetylene is used as welding gas rather methane because, those triple bonds when broke, releases a lot of energy.
Hence option A is correct.
