Solution

The correct options are
A $C$ is isomer has neither plane of symmetry and nor centre of symmetry
C Trans isomer has no plane of symmetry and is optically inactive
D Trans isomer has centre of symmetry and is optically inactive
The given compound has cis and trans isomers. Cis-isomer is optically active because it has neither plane of symmetry nor centre of symmetry. Trans-isomer is optically inactive as it has centre of symmetry, even though it has no plane of symmetry.
