AI Generated Solution

To determine which of the given compounds shows geometrical isomerism, we need to analyze each compound based on the presence of a double bond and the different substituents attached to the carbon atoms involved in that double bond. Geometrical isomerism (cis/trans or E/Z isomerism) occurs when there are two different groups attached to each carbon of the double bond. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze But-2-ene (Option a)**: - Structure: CH₃-CH=CH-CH₃ - The double bond is between the second and third carbon atoms. - Both carbon atoms involved in the double bond have different substituents (methyl and hydrogen). ...
