Solution
The correct option is A Trans-1,3-Dichlorocyclohexane
cis isomers can't exist as optically active forms as they form superposable mirror images. As well as trans- forms which are symmetric cannot be optically active because they also can form superimposable mirror images.hence trans 1,3 dichlorocyclohexane is optically active.
