Which of the following shows optical isomerism ?

A

`HO-overset("H")overset("|")underset("H")underset("|")("C")-CO_(2)H`

B

`H_(3)C-overset("H ")overset("| ")underset("OH ")underset("| ")("C ")-CO_(2)H`

C

`H_(3)C-overset(CH_(3))overset("| ")underset("H ")underset("| ")("C ")-CO_(2)H`

D

`H_(3)C -overset(CH_(3))overset("| ")underset("Cl ")underset("| ")("C ")-CO_(2)H`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`H_(3)C-overset("H ")overset("| ")underset("OH ")underset("| ")("C ")-CO_(2)H` It possess chiral carbon, so it shows optical isomerism.
