Solution
The correct option is B racemisation
The process of converting one enantiomer of an optically active compound into racemic mixture is called racemisation. Thus when we start from d-glyceraldehyde and obtain d,l-glyceraldehyde, it is called racemisation.
Similarly, when we start from l-glyceraldehyde and obtain d,l-glyceraldehyde, it is called racemisation.
When a racemic mixture is separated into individual enantiomers, we call it as resolution.
If a pure stereoisomer is converted into its enantiomer, we call it as inversion.
Epimerisation is a process of obtaining an epimer by converting an asymmetric center in compound containing several asymmetric centers.
Option D is correct.
