structure

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Ans. (B) 2.

Sol. 1,1'-Spirobiindane has its two identical indane units locked perpendicular to each other about the spiro carbon (C2 symmetry), with no plane, centre or alternating axis of symmetry, so it is chiral. It exists as one enantiomeric pair : 2 stereoisomers.
