Geometrical isomerism is caused:
| 1. | By restricted rotation around C=C bond. |
| 2. | By the presence of one asymmetric carbon atom. |
| 3. | Due to different groups attached to the same functional group. |
| 4. | By swing of hydrogen atom between two polyvalent atoms. |
Pairs of compounds among the following is a pair of enantiomers:
| 1. | |
| 2. | |
| 3. | |
| 4. |
