Answer 2

$CH_{3} CH(Cl)COOH$ SHOWS OPTICAL ISOMERISM.

Explanation:

• Isomerism is a phenomenon by which molecules have same molecular formula but different structural formulas.
• The given compound is a chiral molecule as 4 different groups are attached to the carbon.
• The chiral molecules posses optical isomerism.
• In optical isomerism, for each chiral center 2 stereoisomers are present that are R and S. The formula of optical isomers is $2^{n} =2^{1} =2$. Here n is 1 as only 1 chiral center.
• Optical isomers rotate the light to different sides.
• The stereoisomers are as follows:
