Solution

The correct option is A Yes
These two molecules are two isomers of 1,2-dichloroethene. The first molecule is the trans isomer, because here the two Chlorine atoms are situated on the opposite sides of the double bond.
The second molecule is the cis isomer, because here the two Chlorine atoms are situated on the same side of the double bond.
