2 and 4 are correct
E x p l a n a t i o n :
For the 2 π bonds .... for the middle carbon if for one π Bond it uses p x Then for the other it has to use p y .......These both are perpendicular ....If C-2 hydrogens are in plane then C-4 hydrogens will be in perpendicular plane (out of molecular plane).....so it is non - planar. ..
.and because of it ,its mirror images don't overlap hence it is chiral .
....If one π Bond is perpendicular to molecular plane then the other would be in plane
Since the molecule is non - planar , we cannot talk of cis-trans isomerism over here
