A

Dextrorotary

B

Laevorotatory

C

Racemic mixture

D

Can be leavo or dextro

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
This reaction results in formation of intermediate radical which is `sp^2` . Like `sp^2` carbonium where attack is possible from both side, similarly in `sp^2` radical attack on both side giving racemic mixture .
