The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given compounds can show geometrical isomerism, we need to analyze each compound based on the presence of a double bond or a cyclic structure with different substituents. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Compounds**: Let's denote the compounds as A, B, and C. We will analyze each one to check for geometrical isomerism. 2. **Analyze Compound A**: - Compound A has a cyclic structure with substituents. - Check the substituents: If both substituents attached to the double bond or the ring are the same, geometrical isomerism cannot occur. - In this case, both substituents on the relevant positions are the same (e.g., CH3 and CH3), so **Compound A cannot show geometrical isomerism**. 3. **Analyze Compound B**: - Compound B also has a double bond. - Check the substituents on the double bond: If both substituents are the same, geometrical isomerism cannot occur. - Here, we find that both substituents are the same (e.g., CH3 and CH3), so **Compound B cannot show geometrical isomerism**. 4. **Analyze Compound C**: - Compound C has a double bond with different substituents. - Check the substituents: If there are two different groups attached to each carbon of the double bond, geometrical isomerism can occur. - In this case, we have CH3 and H on one carbon, and CH3 and H on the other carbon. Since these groups are different, geometrical isomerism is possible. - The possible isomers are: - **Cis Isomer**: Both CH3 groups are on the same side. - **Trans Isomer**: The CH3 groups are on opposite sides. - Therefore, **Compound C can show geometrical isomerism**. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the compound that can show geometrical isomerism is **Compound C**. ### Final Answer: The compound that can show geometrical isomerism is **C**.
