Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) C > A > B > D

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The stability of alkenes is directly proportional to the number of \(\alpha\)-hydrogen atoms due to hyperconjugation. Let us count the number of \(\alpha\)-hydrogen atoms in each given alkene: A. 2-Methylbut-2-ene: \((CH_3)_2C=CHCH_3\) Number of \(\alpha\)-hydrogen atoms =…
