The correct answer with a full explanation. Practice this interactively instead →

खालीलपैकी कोणती संयुगे प्रकाशीीय क्रियाशीलता दाखवतील ? / Which of the following compounds will show optical activity ?

1)फक्त A आणि B / Only A and B
2)फक्त A आणि C / Only A and C✓ Correct
3)फक्त B आणि C / Only B and C
4)वरील सर्व / All of the above

Optical activity requires the presence of chiral carbon atoms (asymmetric carbons bonded to four different groups). Compounds A and C possess chiral centers, hence they show optical activity.
