Why does a nucleophilic reagent, such as methoxide ion, add more easily to an alkyne than an alkene?

• A. A nucleophilic reagent, such as methoxide ion, adds more easily to an alkyne than an alkene because it forms a more stable sp² carbanion.
• B. A nucleophilic reagent, such as methoxide ion, adds more easily to an alkyne than an alkene because it forms a more stable sp³ carbanion.
• C. A nucleophilic reagent, such as methoxide ion, adds more easily to an alkyne than an alkene because it forms a less stable sp² carbanion.
• D. A nucleophilic reagent, such as methoxide ion, adds more easily to an alkyne than an alkene because it forms a less stable sp³ carbanion.
