Solution

The correct option is A hyperconjugative effect of the Me groups
In Me2C=CH2, with respect to Alkene the number of
α-Hydrogen atoms are 6 (i.e. the number of hydrogen atoms taking part in hyperconjugation).
While in MeCH2CH=CH2, the number of α-Hydrogen atoms are 2.
So, the extent of hyperconjugation is more inMe2C=CH2 than in MeCH2CH=CH2.
Thus, Me2C=CH2 is more stable than MeCH2CH=CH2.
So, the correct answer is option C.
