Solution

The correct option is B II > III > IV > I
The stability of the alkene depends upon the number of alpha hydrogens.

But-1-ene CH2=CHCH2CH3
number of alpha hydrogen is 2
2,3- Dimethylbut - 2 -ene CH3C(CH3)=C(CH3)CH3
number of alpha hydrogen is 12
2-Methylbut-2-ene CH3C(CH3)=CHCH3
number of alpha hydrogen is 9
2-methylpropene CH3C(CH3)=CH2
number of alpha hydrogen is 6
