Answer:
2-butene can exist as diasteromers.
Explanation:
The cis-but-2-ene and trans-but-2-ene are not mirror images of each other. Thus, they are diastereomers.
Only the molecules with two or more than two chiral centres can exist as diastereomers.
Lactic acid is an example of enantiomers. The two forms of lactic acid are mirror images but they cannot be superimposed on each other.
