B

CH3CH(OH)CH(OH)CH3CH _{3} CH ( OH ) CH ( OH ) CH _{3}

C

C2H5CH(OH)CH(OH)CH3C _{2} H _{5} CH ( OH ) CH ( OH ) CH _{3}

D

HOCH2CH(Cl)CH3HOCH _{2} CH ( Cl ) CH _{3}

Answer

CH3CH(OH)CH(OH)CH3CH _{3} CH ( OH ) CH ( OH ) CH _{3}

Explanation

Solution

Meso form is obtained when the compound has a plane of symmetry so, the compound CH3CH(OH)CH(OH)CH3CH _{3} CH ( OH ) CH ( OH ) CH _{3} can have a meso form
