(A) \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_2 \stackrel{\oplus}{\mathrm{C}}-\mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_3\)
(B) \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_3-\stackrel{\oplus}{\mathrm{C}}\)
(C) \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_2-\stackrel{\oplus}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}\)
(D) \(\mathrm{CH}_3-\stackrel{\oplus}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}_2\)
(E) \(\stackrel{\oplus}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}_3\)
