Answer:

We know that molecules having zero optical rotation are optically inactive. Tus, the racemic mixture of tartaric acid is optically inactive. This is due to the external compensation of equal amounts of d-tartaric acid and l-tartaric acid. Thus, racemic tartaric acid is optically inactive due to external compensation.
