Solution

The correct option is B
In this structure chiral carbon atom is present so it exhibits optical isomerism. A chiral centre in an organic compound is a carbon atom directly connected to four different groups. Chiral compounds with one chiral centre always exhibits optical isomerism.
Except b, all other have no chiral carbon thus they will not show optical isomerism.
