Correct answer: (d) 2 - chloro -2- methylbutane
Explanation:
The optically inactive compound must contains achiral carbon atom(s) contains achiral carbon atom
\(CH_3 - \overset{Cl}{\overset{|}{\underset{H}{\underset{|}{C}}}} - CHO\)
2 - chloropropanol
\(CH_3 - CH_2 -\overset{Cl}{\overset{|}{\underset{H}{\underset{|}{C}}}} - CH_3\)
2 - chlorobutane
\(CH_3 - CH_2 -CH_2 -\overset{Cl}{\overset{|}{\underset{H}{\underset{|}{C}}}} - CH_3\)
2 - chloropentane
\(CH_3 - CH_2 -\overset{CH_3}{\overset{|}{\underset{Cl}{\underset{|}{C}}}} - CH_3\)
2 - chloro -2- methylbutane
