(C) Lactic acid $(CH_3-CH(OH)-COOH)$ on heating undergoes intermolecular esterification to form a cyclic diester known as lactide. The lactide molecule contains two chiral centers. The possible stereoisomers are $(R,R)$,$(S,S)$,and $(R,S)$ (meso form). Therefore,a total of $3$ stereoisomeric products are formed.
