Best answer

(c) : When two groups attached to a double bonded carbon atom are same, the compound does not exhibit geometrical isomerism. 

Compounds in which the two groups attached to a double bonded carbon are different, exhibit geometrical isomerism, thus, only 2-butene exhibits cis-trans isomerism.
