Solution
The correct option is C b,h A chiral center is defined as an atom in a molecule that is bonded to four different chemical species, allowing for optical isomerism. It is a stereocenter that holds a set of atoms (ligands) in space such that the structure may not be superimposed on its mirror image.
A chiral compound is a compound which has at least one chiral center and is a non superimposible mirror image.
