Solution

The correct option is A DCH2CH2CH2Cl
A chiral compound is a one in which one carbon atom directly connected to four different groups. Chiral compounds with one chiral centre are always optically active.
Except a, all other have chiral carbon because they are connected with four different group/atom. so only a is not chiral.
