Which of these compounds can show geometric (cis-trans) isomerism?

Correct answer C. But-2-ene

Explanation

Cis-trans isomerism needs restricted rotation and two different groups on each double-bonded carbon. Only but-2-ene (CH₃CH=CHCH₃) meets both conditions. The others have two identical groups on one carbon.
