Solution

The correct option is D (III)>(I) (II)>(IV)

Disequatorial cis1,3Dimethylcyclohexane is more stable as both methyl groups are equatorial and are away from each other.
(Refer to Image 1)
It is followed by trans1,3Dimethylcyclohexane where one CH3 group is equatorial & other is axial
(Refer to Image 2)
Diaxial cis1,3Dimethylcyclohexane is less stable due to large amount of steric strain due to the interaction of axial CH3 groups.
(Refer to Image 3)
(III)>(I)(II)>(IV)
