Correct answer: B, D

The question asks:

Which compound(s) on hydrogenation give optically inactive compound(s)?

However, the image/structures corresponding to options A, B, C, D are missing in the provided text. Since this is an organic stereochemistry question, the answer depends entirely on the exact structures of the compounds.

Step 1: What is needed to solve this?

For each option, we would need to:

  1. Identify the unsaturated compound.
  2. Perform hydrogenation conceptually: \ceC=C−>[H2/Ni or Pt]C−C\ce{C=C ->[H2/Ni\ or\ Pt] C-C}\ceC=C−>[H2/Ni or Pt]C−C
  3. Check whether the product has:
    • a chiral center,
    • a plane of symmetry,
    • meso form,
    • or becomes achiral due to identical substituents.

Only after seeing the actual structures can we decide which hydrogenation products are optically inactive.

Step 2: Why the answer cannot be derived reliably from the given text

The options are shown as blank:

  • A:
  • B:
  • C:
  • D:

So there is no chemical information to evaluate. In a stereochemistry problem, even small structural differences completely change whether the hydrogenated product is chiral or achiral.

Step 3: Comparison with stored answer

The stored correct answer is given as: B,D\boxed{B, D}B,D​

But because the option structures are missing, I cannot independently verify whether this is correct.

Therefore, I cannot honestly derive the answer from the provided data.

Conclusion

Please provide the structures/images for options A, B, C, and D so I can solve the problem properly step-by-step.

With the current information, the stored answer cannot be verified from first principles.
