Pick out the correct statement from the following for the compound (I)

Options

A. On reduction in presence of poisoned Palladium catalyst it gives optically inactive compound
B. On reduction in presence of Nickel catalyst it gives optically active compound.
C. On reduction in presence of poisoned Palladium catalyst it gives optically active compound
D. On reduction in Na/liquid `NH_3` it gives an optically inactive compound.

Answer

C

Explanation

In presence of poisoned Pd catalyst, the triple bond is reduced to double bond only. Hence the formed product is still chiral and hence optically active.
