Solution
The correct option is A The structure A represents Fischer projection of a compound. The structures I to IV represents Wedge - Dash Notations for the same compound. The Wedge-Dash Notation I is the correct representation of structure A.
In a fischer projection, the vertical lines are oriented away from you ad the horizontal lines are oriented towards you.
In wedge-Dash notation for three dimensional representation of an organic molecule, the dashed bond represnts a bond below the plane of the paper. The wedged bond represents a bond above the plane of the paper. The remaining two bonds (represented by the solid line) are in the plane of the paper.
