A similarity between optical and geometrical isomerism is that:
Correct answer: C. both are included in stereoisomerism
- A. each forms an equal number of isomers for a given compound
- B. If in a compound one is present then so is the other
- C. both are included in stereoisomerism
- D. they have no similarity
Explanation
Both the given types of Isomerism optical and geometric belong to same category of stereoisomers.This is the major similarity among the two isomers.

About Fundamental Principles of Organic Chemistry
Organic chemistry begins with carbon compounds classified by carbon skeleton, saturation and functional group. Work includes identifying groups such as hydroxyl, carbonyl, carboxyl and amino, applying basic nomenclature, and distinguishing structural, geometric and optical isomers, where the same molecular formula does not necessarily mean the same structure or properties.
