Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The given compounds are to be arranged in the increasing order of stability.

Concept introduction:

The alkene stability is affected by the alkyl substituents on the C-C double bond. Higher the alkyl substitution, higher is the stability. The stability of alkenes can be compared using heats of formation. Higher the negative value of heat of formation, higher is the stability of alkenes.
