Options

  1. ADiastereomers
  2. BAtropisomers
  3. CEnantiomers
  4. DMesomers

Correct answer

C. Enantiomers

Step-by-step solution

Two possible stereo-structures of CH3CHOHCOOH{CH}_{3}CHOHCOOH, which are optically active, are called enantiomers.

They are non-superimposable mirror images of each other and are shown in the image.

Two possible stereo-structures of C H _ 3 CHOHCOOH , which are optically active, are called:

Both are enantiomers.
