(a) True

(b) False

I have been asked this question in quiz.

Question is taken from Chirality topic in section Structure and Stereostructure of Molecules of Engineering Chemistry I

Answer 1

Correct choice is (a) True

The best I can explain: Optical activity can also result from the lack of molecular symmetry in molecules which do not have chiral carbon.
