The given compound has which Axis of Symmetry (Sn):

Options:
Answer:
C
Solution:
Ans. (C) S4.
Sol. Spiro[4.4]nonane has its two identical rings locked perpendicular to each other (like the two ends of an allene, D2d). A 90 deg rotation about the axis through the spiro carbon followed by reflection in the plane perpendicular to it maps the molecule onto itself, so it possesses an S4 alternating axis.
