Optical isomers are mirror images that cannot be superimposed on one another. These are called as enantiomers.
This structure does not contain plane of symmetry hence it is optically active, rest of all options has plane of symmetry and they are optically inactive i.e., if we look upon the mirror image of the given options, it is same for all except option (c). Hence, only option (c) is optically active.
No plane of symmetry or centre of symmetry. Hence, option (c) is optically active.
