Why are rotational transitions of little use to a spectroscopist?

Because, in liquids and solids, spectral lines corresponding to rotational transitions are broadened as the result of molecular collisions and other interactions
All of these
Because the energy required to induce a rotational transition is so small that it cannot be measured
Because rotational transitions are extremely rare
