Solution

The correct option is B Opposite
Enantiomerism is the phenomenon of existence of enantiomers in a single structural formula but in opposite configuration. If a chiral molecule has more than one chiral centre, all the chiral centre for its enantiomer must have opposite configuration with no symmetry in the molecule.
Hence, (b) is correct.
