(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the given compound is isolated in the optically active form or not is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
A carbon atom that has four non-equivalent atoms or groups attached to it is known as chiral carbon atom. Chiral carbon centers are also called as asymmetric or stereogenic centers. A chiral compound is able to move the plane polarized light is known to be optically active compound.
