Options:
Answer:
B
Solution:
Ans. (B) can show optical isomerism.
Sol. The cumulated diene CH3(H)C=C=C(CH3)CO2H has two different substituents on each terminal sp2 carbon, so it is axially chiral and exists as a pair of enantiomers : it can show optical isomerism (and it indeed has no plane or centre of symmetry).
