Which property is greater for cis-but-2-ene than for trans-but-2-ene?

Correct answer B. Dipole moment

Explanation

In the cis isomer both CH₃ groups are on the same side, so the small bond dipoles do not cancel and the molecule is polar. In the trans isomer they cancel, giving a near-zero dipole moment.
