this question i asked before ans was given showing 2 d and l form
and two meso but 2 d and l posses centre of symmetry and are
optically inactive also naming the 2nd form (enantiomer)
in reverse we get same compound so ans should be zero which is not
in option plzz draw structure

Dear Student,

The number of optically active stereo isomers for
butane-2,3-diol is 2

i e , d and l which are
optically active
The meso- compound is optically
inactive due to internal compensation
