💡 Solution & Explanation

2-Butene (a structurally internal alkene) possesses more hyperconjugation and lower structural energy than the terminal alkene 1-Butene, making it thermodynamically more stable. Because it is lower in energy, its complete combustion to $\text{CO}_2$ and $\text{H}_2\text{O}$ releases less total heat than 1-Butene. Statement II directly explains Statement I.
