Correct answer: B
The question says “The products formed in the above reaction are”, but the actual reaction scheme/figure is missing from the prompt.
Because the reaction itself is not provided, the products cannot be determined uniquely from the text and options alone. In such stereochemistry questions, the answer depends completely on the specific substrate/reagent combination shown in the missing reaction.
What can still be said
The options are about the stereochemical nature of two products:
- Two optically active products
- One optically active and one meso product
- Two optically inactive products
- One optically inactive and one meso product
To choose among these, one must inspect:
- whether new stereocentres are formed,
- whether the products are enantiomers/diastereomers,
- whether any product has an internal plane of symmetry (meso),
- whether racemic mixtures are produced.
Without the missing reaction, this analysis cannot be done rigorously.
Comparison with stored answer
The stored correct answer is B: One optically active and one meso product.
Since the reaction image is absent, I cannot independently verify that choice from the given information alone. Therefore, I do not have enough data to derive the answer confidently.
