Solution
The correct option is CIII>II>I The stability of alkenes is based on the number of α-hydrogens of the given alkene . More the number of α-hydrogens, more is the stability due to hyperconjugation.
I has 1 α-hydrogen.
II has 4 α-hydrogens.
III has 8 α-hydrogens.
So, the correct order is III>II>I
