Identify meso compound.
Options:
Answer:
A
Solution:
A meso compound contains two or more chiral centers but is optically inactive due to an internal plane of symmetry.
Option (A):
It has two chiral carbon atoms.
Both carbon atoms have the same set of groups: Cl and CO₂H.
One Cl is shown by a wedge and the other by a dash, giving opposite configurations.
The molecule has an internal plane of symmetry.
Therefore, the configurations are R,S, making it a meso compound.
