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.
