Which of the following compounds will give racemic mixture on nucleophilic substitution by OH– ion?(i) (a) (ii) (a), (b), (c) (iii) (b), (c) (iv) (a), (c)

Option (i) is the answer.

At least one chiral carbon must be present in the molecule to display racemic mixing. Chiral carbon is an asymmetric carbon that is linked to four distinct sorts of atoms or groups of atoms. All other compounds, on the other hand, lacked at least one chiral.
