The correct answer is:
The relative rates of hydrogenation decrease with the increase of steric hindrance. In order of stability of alkene, most stable the alkene slowly it gives the product.
Hence alkene which will react faster with is that which is most unstable.
Hence alkene which will react faster with is that which is most unstable.
