Choose the INCORRECT option among the following is :

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

To find the INCORRECT option, we evaluate the relationships between the chemical structures across the columns:

Analysis of Option (B): It pairs structure (II) from Column-I with structure (iii) from Column-II and labels them as Enantiomers (Q).

Structural Comparison: Both (II) and (iii) represent trans-1,2-dichlorocyclobutane configurations.

Meso/Symmetry Property: Since these configurations either possess a center of inversion/plane of symmetry or represent identical compounds rather than non-superimposable mirror images, they are not enantiomers.

Conclusion: Because this relationship is chemically false, (B) is the incorrect combination
