Question

For the given compound $\mathrm{X}$, the total number of optically active stereoisomers is

• A. $4$
• B. $5$
• C. $6$
• D. $7$

Answer 1

The correct option is D

$7$

The explanation for the correct answer:

Option (D) $7$:

Optically active stereoisomers:

1. Stereoisomers are isomers that have the same components but differ in spatial orientation.
2. Optical isomerism is a feature of stereoisomers that causes polarised light to shift plane.
3. Following optically active stereoisomers are possible for the compound $\mathrm{X}$

Therefore, for the compound$\mathrm{X}$, $7$ optically active stereoisomers are possible.
