The optically active tartaric acid is named as `D-(+)-` tartaric acid because it has a positive

A

Optical rotation and is derived from `D`-glucose.

B

`pH` in organic solvent.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The symbol `D` denotes the relative configuration of `(OH)` group `w.r.t`. glyceraldehyde taken as standard.
