Q2.Which one of the following can exhibit both geometrical and optical isomerism?
A (CH3)2C=CHCH(CH3)CH2CH3
B CH3CH2CH=CHCH(CH3)CH2CH3
C (CH3)2C=C(CH2CH3)2
D CH3CH2CH(CH3)CH(CH3)C=CH2
why is the answer b? ive drawn them all out but I still find it hard to see the chiral carbon and geometrical isomerism? how do I draw C
A (CH3)2C=CHCH(CH3)CH2CH3
B CH3CH2CH=CHCH(CH3)CH2CH3
C (CH3)2C=C(CH2CH3)2
D CH3CH2CH(CH3)CH(CH3)C=CH2
why is the answer b? ive drawn them all out but I still find it hard to see the chiral carbon and geometrical isomerism? how do I draw C

Optical isomerism requires that a carbon atom has four different groups attached.
Only B has both.

Geometric isomerism requires that each of the carbon atoms of the double bond have different substituents.

why is it not A then ? I think it does have a chiral center with it and is also an optical isomer.

A. (CH3)2C=CHCH(CH3)CH2CH3
does indeed have a chiral carbon (shown above)
But it has no stereoisomers (cis, trans) due to lack of rotation about the double bond as there are two identical groups attached to the first carbon of the double bond.
