Solution
The correct option is ACH2 = CHCH3
CF2,CN and C6H5 will stabilised the negative charge that will appear after the breaking of the double bond,
but the CH3 group only exaggerates +I effect and unstabilised the negative charge, that's why the (A) alkene will be least reactive towards anionic polymerisation.
