Detailed Solution

  • Compounds with a chiral carbon that can exhibit optical isomerism and can have non-superimposable mirror images are called enantiomers.
    For (A) CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2Cl has no chiral carbon, therefore cannot be an enantiomer.
    For (B) C(CH3)3Cl has no chiral carbon, therefore cannot be an enantiomer.
    For (C) CH3-CHCl- CH2-CH3 has a chiral carbon and can be an enantiomer.
    For (D)CH(CH3)2-CH2Cl has no chiral carbon and cannot be an enantiomer.
