Cis-trans isomerism (also known as geometric isomerism) occurs in compounds that have a double bond, where the rotation is restricted. This type of isomerism is possible when there are two different groups attached to each carbon of the carbon-carbon double bond.

Let's analyze each compound:

A) CH₃CH₂CH₂CH=C(CH₃)₂: This compound cannot exist as cis-trans isomers because the carbon in the double bond does not have two different groups attached to it. It has two methyl groups (CH₃).

B) CH₃CH=CH(CH₂)₅CH₃: This compound can exist as cis-trans isomers. The carbon atoms in the double bond each have two different groups attached to them.

C) CH₂=CHCH₂CH₂CH₃: This compound cannot exist as cis-trans isomers because the carbon atoms in the double bond do not have two different groups attached to them.

D) (CH₃CH₂)₂C=C(CH₂CH₃)₂: This compound cannot exist as cis-trans isomers because the carbon atoms in the double bond do not have two different groups attached to them.

E) CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂CH=CH₂: This compound can exist as cis-trans isomers. The carbon atoms in the double bond each have two different groups attached to them.

So, the compounds B and E can exist as cis-trans isomers.
