(D) The process of converting an optically active enantiomer into a racemic mixture (an equimolar mixture of $(+)$ and $(-)$ enantiomers) is known as $Racemization$. Since the resulting mixture contains equal amounts of both enantiomers,the optical rotations cancel each other out,making the mixture optically inactive.
