Solution

The correct option is B chirality
The property of possessing atleast one atom that is attached to four non-identical groups is called chirality. Enantiomerism is the relationship between two stereoisomers having molecules that are mirror images of each other. They have identical chemical and physical properties in an achiral environment but form different products when reacted with other chiral molecules and exhibit optical activity.
