Expert Solution
Explanation

The compounds which can show optical isomerism should have at-least one chiral center, and NOT having any symmetry element, that is they should NOT have any plane of symmetry or center of symmetry.

(a) There is a plane of symmetry such that one half of molecule is exactly similar and mirror image of other half, so it does NOT show optical isomerism.

(b) It shows optical isomerism because of out of plane benzene rings, and presence of chiral centers.

(c) It does NOT show optical isomerism because there is no chiral center.
