Solution

The correct option is B funaric acid and maleic acid
Geometric isomers are two or more compounds with the same number and types of atoms, and bonds, but which have different geometries for the atoms.
Maleic acid is the cis isomer of butenedioic acid, whereas fumaric acid is the trans isomer.
