A dextro- rotatory optically active alkyl halide undergoes hydrolysis by `S_(N) 2` mechanism. The resulting alcohol is `:`A. DextorotatoryB. LaevorotatoryC. Optically inactive due to racemizationD. May be dexture or laevorotatory

Answer» Correct Answer - 2
`S_(N)^(2)` reactions occur with inverssion of configuration. Therefore `,` an optically active reactant gives an optically active product whose sign of rotation can not be predicted.
