Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The correct (R) and (S) designation for +  carvone and   - carvone are to be given.

Concept introduction:

Chiral centers are tetrahedral atoms that have four different substituents.

Each chiral center will have an R or an S configuration.   Enantiomers are one of the two stereoisomerism that are mirror images of each other, which are non-superimposable.
