Choose an option
Show full solutionCorrect option: A
Correct answer
A
Step-by-step explanation
The plane of polarized light is rotated by optically active compound, i.e. it should be chiral.
So, (A) has, chiral atom. So, it is optically active.
In (B), (C) and (D) plane of symmetry is present.
Hence, (A) is correct.
