Answer:
D
D is dextrorotatory while L is laevorotatory
The letter D and L before the name of any compound indicate their relative configuration of particular stereo-isomers. This refers to their relationship with the particular isomer of glyceraldehyde. The given structures are two enantiomeric forms of glyceraldehyde.
Hence, statement (D) is not correct for the given structure.
