A solution contain three stereo-isomers ...

A solution contain three stereo-isomers of 2, 3-dihydroxy butanedioic acid. On fractional crystallisation of this solution, two fractions: Fraction-1 and Fraction-II are separated. Fraction-I on reaction with (+)-2-butanamine gives a single salt while fraction-II on reaction with the same (+)-2-butanamine gives a mixture of two salts. answer the following three question based on the above information
(a) Molecules of fraction-I are enantiomers
(b) Molecules of fraction-I are meso compound
(c) Molecules of fraction-I are in racemic form
(d) Molecules of fraction-I has no chiral centre
What is the relationship between the molecules of fraction-I with the molecules of fraction-II?

A

They are enantiomers

B

They are identical

C

They are diastereomers

D

They are diastereomers as well as optically active
