Alkenes and a...

Question

Alkenes and alkynes both undergo electrophilic addition because of $π$ electron density, they behave as electron rich species. Alkenes are more reactive towards this reaction because the intermediate formed when an electrophile adds to an alkyne is a vinylic cation whereas the intermediate formed when an electrophile adds to alkene is alkyl cation, which is more stable.

Q. Markovnikov’s rule:

Alkenes undergo electrophilic addition reactions. They are triggered by the acid acting as an electrophile toward the π-electrons of the double bond.

Markovnikov’s rule states that when an unsymmetrically substituted alkene reacts with a hydrogen halide, the hydrogen atom adds to the carbon that has a greater number of hydrogens, e.g.,

Which given substrate is the most reactive toward Markovnikov’s addition?
