Solution

The correct option is D ${C H}_{2} = C H C H (O H) {C H}_{3}$

The molecule ${C H}_{2} = C H C H (O H) {C H}_{3}$ will have optical isomerism as it contains an asymmetric carbon atom (carbon atom attached to 4 different atoms/ groups of atoms).

It exists in the form of d and l isomers.

Hence the correct option is D.
