Answer:

Boat conformation cis 1,4-dimethyl cyclohexane has the highest energy.

Explanation:

From the conformations, the boat conformation cis 1,4-dimethyl cyclohexane is least stable due to the fact that two methyl groups are located in opposite direction to each other, this leads to the production of  a higher strain. Similarly, Chair conformations appear more stable than boat conformation. Hence, energy is inversely proportional to stability. As a result of the aforementioned, boat conformation cis 1,4-dimethyl cyclohexane has the highest energy.
