Solution

The correct option is D 1-hexene
There are no geometrical or cis-trans isomers for 1-hexene, as the alkene functional group is present on the first carbon.

There is no carbon chain on the other side of the carbon. cis-trans isomerism exists when there is restricted rotation in a molecule and there are two non-identical groups on each doubly bonded carbon.
