Best answer
Correct Answer - D
Trans configuration is more stable than cis configuration because in cis-configuration the `H` groups are thrown closely enough together to cause crowding or repulsion. Agrain between `1,2`and `1,3`-configurations, in `1-3`, the `OH` groups are placed further apart to minimise the repulsion. Hence, more stable is `1,3`-configuration.
