JEE Main Chemistry question

The molecules having dipole moment are:

(A)2,2-dimethylpropane
(B)Trans-3-hexene
(C)Trans-2-penteneCorrect
(D)2,2,3,3-tetramethylbutane

Answer: (C)

Solution

2,2-dimethylpropane and 2,2,3,3-tetramethylbutane are both highly symmetric, non-polar alkanes (zero dipole). Trans-3-hexene has identical ethyl groups on both ends of the double bond, so its
