Answer:

C. the carbons in ethene are linked by double bonds

Explanation:

The reason for the lack of free rotation about the carbons of ethene is that they are linked with with double bonds.

In single bonds afforded with the ethane compound, there is free rotation.

The double bonds confer a special restriction on the rotational potential of the bonded atoms round the carbon.
