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

C

Optical rotation and is derived from `D-(+)-`glyceraldehyde

D

Optical rotation when substituted by deuterium.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The symbol `D` denotes the relative configuration of `(OH)` group w.r.t. glyceraldehydes taken as standard. Also, `(+)` sign refers to optical rotation and is dextroratatory.
