The correct answer is:
A

But-2-yne ( ) undergoes partial hydrogenation.

Reaction with (Lindlar-like conditions for 1 mole ) gives cis-but-2-ene as product .
Reaction with liq. (Birch reduction) gives trans-but-2-ene as product .
Statement A: (cis) and (trans) are geometrical isomers, hence stereoisomers. This is correct.
Statement B: Cis-but-2-ene ( ) has a non-zero dipole moment ( ) due to the additive nature of bond moments, while trans-but-2-ene ( ) has zero dipole moment ( ) due to symmetry. Thus, statement B is incorrect.

Statement C: Cis-isomers generally have higher boiling points than trans-isomers due to higher dipole-dipole interactions. So, B.P. of . This is correct.

Statement D: Reductive ozonolysis ( ) of both cis-but-2-ene and trans-but-2-ene yields the same product, ethanal ( ). Thus, statement D is incorrect.

The incorrect statements are B and D.
