(a)
Interpretation:
In the given molecule, the atoms that are required to be in the same plane are to be circled.
Concept introduction:
Groups that are connected by a single bond have the ability to rotate freely relative to each other. But the groups which are connected by a double bond do not rotate freely. In the case of a double bond, the pi bond would be broken because during rotation, the overlap between the p orbitals would be destroyed. When two atoms are connected by a double bond, those two atoms and all the atoms directly attached to them, prefer to lie in the same plane.
(b)
