Explanation / Answer

1) Answer A

COmpound A has 3S, 4R configuration, hence on treating with base forms Z-alkene

2) Answer A

COmpound A has 3S, 4R configuration, hence on treating with base forms Z-alkene
3) Answer B

COmpound B has 3R, 4R configuration, hence on treating with base forms E-alkene
