Question
Which of the following molecules is expected to rotate the plane of plane polarized light?
Options
A.

B.

C.

D.

Solution
The plane of polarized light is rotated by optically active compound, i.e. it should be chiral.
So, (1) has, chiral C-atom. So, it is optically active.
In (2), (3) and (4) plane of symmetry is present.
Hence, (1) is correct.
