Vedclass · Answer

(B) molecule is optically active if it contains a chiral carbon atom,which is an $sp^3$ hybridized carbon atom bonded to four different groups.In option $B$,the central carbon atom is bonded to $-H$,$-OH$,$-CH_3$,and $-C_2H_5$ groups.Since all four groups are different,this carbon is chiral,making the molecule optically active.
