Solution

The correct option is D
Restricted rotation

Compounds which have same molecular formula but differ in the spatial arrangement of atoms about the double bond are called geometrical isomers. Geometrical Isomerism is shown by compounds which have restricted rotation around the carbon atoms. Cyclo alkanes also exhibit geometrical isomerism.

Q. Assertion :Formation of a pi bond restricts the rotation of the bond. Reason: While rotating the double bond, the perpendicular laterally overlapped p orbitals will reach non overlapping position.
