Trans-1,2-dimethylcyclohexane is more stable than cis-1,2-dimethylcyclohexane because? (A) The trans isomer has one axial and one equatorial methyl group. (B) The trans isomer has two equatorial groups. (C) The trans isomer has the two CH3 groups further away from each other. (D) The trans isomer has two CH3 groups in an anti-arrangement.
