My thoughts on the problem: I am sort compound of sure C and D will not show geometric isomerism because of the same groups (H and H) attached. In compound A and B, suppose I swap the positions of H and Cl, I notice that it is not possible to obtain the new compound by rotation of the original one.
My doubt: Does that mean A and B show geometric isomerism. Also is my method, of interchanging the positions of H and Cl and checking if the same compound can be obtained by rotation, correct?

@orthocresol - Ohh ok. From that post I could conclude that D and C can not be correct answer. But I'm still confused between A and B. The solution given tells me the answer is only B. – NeshDude Aug 01 '17 at 05:19
