Solution

The correct option is D racemization
$R a c e m i z a t i o n;$
The racemization is the process of conversion of an optically pure enantiomer into an optically inactive equimolecular mixture of $(+)$ and $(-)$ enantiomers $(r a c e m i c m i x t u r e)$ . It can be done by heating or by any chemical reaction.
The correct answer is Option D.
