Which of the following will show geometrical and optical isomerism?

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

Optical Isomerism: Compound (C) has a chiral carbon center (the ring carbon bonded to the group) surrounded by four different groups, making the molecule optically active.

 

Geometrical Isomerism: The exocyclic double bond has restricted rotation and is attached to two different groups on both ends ( and on one carbon, and two unsymmetrical ring pathways on the ring carbon).

 

Because it satisfies both criteria simultaneously, Compound (C) shows both geometrical and optical isomerism.
