Solution

The correct option is A by restricted rotation around C = C bond
Conditions for geometrical isomers:
1) Free rotation must be restricted.
2) Both the terminals must be attached with different groups.
3) Terminals must not be in perpendicular planes.
Hence the correct answer is option (a).
