The process of separating a racemic mixture into optically pure `(+)`

1.	The process of separating a racemic mixture into optically pure `(+)` and `(-)` enantiomers is known asA. asymmetric synthesisB. mutarotationC. epimerizationD. resolution
Answer» Correct Answer - D Resolution is the separation of two enantiomers from each other. A mixture of enantiomers is said to be resolvable.
