The incorrect statements regarding geometrical isomerism are :
(A) Propene shows geometrical isomerism.
(B) Trans isomer has identical atoms/groups on the opposite sides of the double bond.
(C) Cis-but-2-ene has higher dipole moment than trans-but-2-ene.
(D) 2-methylbut-2-ene shows two geometrical isomers.
(E) Trans-isomer has lower melting point than cis isomer.
