Solution
The correct option is A 3D geometry A wedge-and-dash projection represents a molecule in which three types of lines are used in order to represent the three-dimensional structure:
(1) solid lines to represent bonds that are in the plane of the paper.
(2) dashed lines to represent bonds that extend away from the viewer
(3) wedge-shaped lines to represent bonds oriented towards the viewer.
