Detailed Solution

Active Chemicals: The three-dimensional structure of a molecule, indicates the source of light activity of an object.

Active chemicals contain chiral molecules.

Chirality is the substance of a molecule that results from its formation.

Optical activity This is a tool particularly used in the sugar industry to measure the sugar concentration of syrup, and generally in chemistry to measure the concentration or enantiomeric ratio of capable of rotating the plane of vibration of polarized light to the right or left —used of

Hence, we have derived that, if 'n' (number of chiral centers) is odd for a compound with similar ends, then: In the given options

a) compound as the does not have the chiral center so optically inactive

b) compound is Optically inactive

c) Compound does not contain POS or COS so optically active.

d) Compound does not contain POS or COS because both are benzene rings so Optically inactive.

Hence, the correct options is (c).
