Solution

The correct option is B 3-methylcyclobutene

(A) 1- methylcyclobutene is not chiral so it cannot be substance A
(B) 3-methylcyclobutene is chiral and the product obtained after reaction with H2/Pt is achiral
(C) trans-1,2-dimethylcyclopropane is an alkane so H2/Pt cannot react with it
(D) Cyclopentane is also an alkane as well as not a chiral compound

Thus, the correct representation of compound (A) is option (B)
