Step-by-step explanation:

Heat of hydrogenation of alkenes is a measure of the stability of carbon-carbon double bonds.

In general, the lower the value of the heat of hydrogenation the more stable the double bond of the alkene.

Also, heat of hydrogenation of alkenes always have a negative value.
