The possible stereoisomers from trans-2-butene are <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/physics/59a21654dd8388fc278d7a14fdecea4a-.png" /> Of these, (II) is a meso compound, that is, one half of the molecule is mirror image of the other half, even though it contains a chiral centre. Thus, there is only one stereoisomer.
