Detailed Solution

The C atoms form an angle of 180° and the two CH2 groups are perpendicular to one another

Allene has two double bonds, which result in two methylene groups positioned 90 degrees apart. 

The twofold rotation axis and the primary symmetry axis are colinear at -4. 

Two twofold axes that are split in half by two mirror planes are perpendicular to the -4 axis.
