Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B diastereomers
Tartric acid contains two asymmetric centers, but two of the "isomers" are equivalent and together are called meso which is not optically active, while the remaining two isomers are D- and L- mirror images, i.e., enantiomers. The meso form is a diastereomer of the other forms.
