Solution

The correct option is C IV>I>III>II
IV>I>III>II
CH2=CHCHCH=OCH3>CH2CHCH=CHOCH3
IV I
>CH2=CHCHCHOCH3>CH2CH=CHCHOCH3
III II
The structure is unstable when opposite charges are present on adjacent atoms.
Structure having maximum number of covalent bonds is most stable. - OCH3 exerts a I and +M effect.
Also in structure IV, octet of all atoms are complete but in others octet of one carbon is incomplete.
