The stability of Me2C = CH2
is more than that of MeCH2CH = CH2
due to
A. inductive effect of the Me group
B. resonance effect of the Me group
C. hyperconjugative effect of the Me group

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=CH2than in MeCH2CH=CH2.
Thus, Me2C=CH2is more stable than MeCH2CH=CH2.
So, the correct answer is option C.

(Me)2C=CH2 has 6 hyper conjugate forms while (MeCH2)(HC)=CH2 has 2 hyper conjugate forms .Therefore Me2C=CH2 is more stable than MeCH2CH=CH2
