Which of the following compound can show geometrical isomerism?

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
A, B, C, D
Solution:

Here is the concise explanation for the given answer (A, B, C, D)

 

A) Shows cis/trans isomerism due to the restricted rotation of the ring, where substituents on the carbons can lie on the same or opposite sides of the ring plane.

B) Contains a disubstituted double bond () with two different groups on each carbon, enabling E/Z (geometrical) isomerism.

C) This polycyclic/spiro system has a rigid, constrained framework where the relative spatial arrangement of the methyl groups generates distinct cis and trans diastereomers.

D) Represents a large ring cycloalkene (8 or more carbons) that is flexible enough to stably accommodate both cis and trans configurations of the double bond.
