Solution

The correct option is B STATEMENT-1 is True, STATEMENT-2 is True; STATEMENT-2 is NOT a correct explanation for STATEMENT-1.
Cis has dipole moment.
Trans has 0 dipole moment because the molecule is symmetric, and so the optical rotation is equal and gets cancelled.
So, Cis-Butene-2 is more polar because of the dipole moment.
