Solution
The correct option is AII>I>IV>III The bond length of C=C is affected by presence or absence of electron pushing group like −CH3. Presence of methyl groups decrease the electron deficiency and the length of double bond thus increases. Similarly, presence of more double bonds has more electron attracting tendency of the bonds, due to which more double bonds cause shorter C=C.
