Solution

The correct option is D Different nuclear spin and with different physical properties
Ortho hydrogen are hydrogen molecule those in which the spin of both nuclei will be in same direction whereas in para hydrogen both the nuclei will spin in opposite direction. Thus ortho and para hydrogen will differ in nuclear spin of both atoms.
Ortho and para hydrogen have same chemical property but different physical property due to varying electron distribution in the structures.
