Solution

The stereoisomers related to each other as non-superimposable mirror images are called enantiomers. Enantiomers possess identical physical properties. They only differ with respect to the rotation of plane polarised light. If one of the enantiomers is dextrorotatory, the other will be laevorotatory.

Here, the enantiomer of a molecule (A) is

Hence, option (a) is correct.
