As we have learnt,

Greater the number of \mathrm{\alpha-H}, greater is the stability

In case the number of \mathrm{\alpha-H} is same, then that alkene with greater alkylation on same carbon is more stable.

Hence, the correct order of stability is 

\mathrm{(I)>(III)>(II)>(IV)}

Therefore, the correct answer is Option (3)
