    Well this is my trying in D, I upload picture that show one of what I think can be an chiral carbon but I am not sure about the bond in the right side of it.

    So D is also a Optical activity molecule?

    Thanks.

    The other chiral carbon that I think is carbon that have bond with 1(H) 2(OH) 3(COOH) for the bond from the left side here I not sure like in the carbon in the picture.

    Yes, that's exactly it! Well done! :)

    The C in the middle of your picture, AND the C just right of it are chiral.

    OK thanks, but look at the picture to what atoms the right bond need to be?
    And so I can say that D is also a Optical activity molecule?

    Yes, it is.

    To the right, you put CH(OH)COOH

    For the next carbon atom, to the left you have HOOCCH(Br)
