Which of the following alkenes will react faster with H2 under catalytic hydrogenation conditions?

Solution
The correct option is A
Alkane is prepared by catalytic hydrogenation of alkene/alkyne on addition of H2 with catalyst Ni/Pt/Pd.
Thus, bulky substituent in alkene (b) and (c) will reduce the rate of hydrogenation due to crowding.
The catalytic hydrogenation is syn addition by forming a four membered transition state There will be more crowding for addition of H to the same side in (d).
Therefore, option (a) is correct.
