The correct answer is:

Addition of alc. KOH to haloalkanes follows the Saytzeff rule which points towards greater stability. Saytzeff's rule implies that elimination reactions favour formation of alkene with greater number of substituents.



Not only that, but it also gives the molecule an extended conjugate system which further enhances its stability.
