Which of the following has two sterioisomers?

ANone of these
BOnly $$I$$
Correct Answer
COnly $$III$$
D$$I$$ and $$III$$

Solution

Only I has two sterioisomers. This includes a pair of enantiomers. Geometrical isomerism is not possible as two same atoms (H atoms) are attached to doubly bonded C atoms.
No stereoisomers are possible for II as two same groups (methyl groups) are attached to N atom.
A rapid umbrella type inversion rapidly converts the structure III to its enantiomer; hence the two emantiomers are not separable.
