a

the eclipsed conformation of ethane is more stable than staggered conformation even though the eclipsed conformation has torsional strain

b

the staggered conformation of ethane is more stable than eclipsed conformation, because staggered conformation has no torsional strain

c

the staggered conformation of ethane is less stable than eclipsed conformation, because staggered conformation has torsional strain
