Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) (A), (C) and (D) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Chiral molecules possess a carbon atom bonded to four different groups. Butan-2-ol: \( \text{CH}_3\text{CH(OH)CH}_2\text{CH}_3 \). C2 is bonded to -H, -OH, -CH₃, -CH₂CH₃. Chiral. Propane-2-ol: \( \text{CH}_3\text{CH(OH)CH}_3 \). C2 is bonded to -H, -OH, -CH₃, -CH₃. Achiral.…
