Solution

The correct option is B E isomer
The image numbered 9 is E isomer.

The first carbon has Fluorine and Chlorine attached to it, where Chlorine will be given the priority since its atomic number is more than Fluorine.

The second carbon has Bromine and Iodine attached to it, where Iodine will be given the priority since its atomic number is more than Bromine.

The atoms given the priority are on the opposite side of the double bond and hence it is an E isomer.

Hence the correct option is A.
