Solution

The correct option is D R2C=CR2
Alkyl groups are electron repelling and they shift the bond pair of electrons away from themselves due to +I effect, inducing δ charge on the bonded atom and +δ charge on themselves. So, alkenes having greater number of alkyl groups attached to the double bonded carbon are stabilised more due to +I effect.
