The question is incomplete as the options are missing, however, the correct complete question is attached.

Answer:

The correct answer is option A. ( check image)

Step-by-step explanation:

The most stable contributor to the intermediate arenium ion produced by electrophilic bromination of methoxybenzene in given options is option a due to the fact that this resonating form follows the octet rule is satisfied for all atoms and additional π bond is present in between C-O that makes it more stable, while in other options there are positive charge which means they do not follows octet rule completely.

Thus, the correct answer is option A. ( check image)
