Which effect results during chemical synthesis when chiral molecules selectively absorb polarized light?

A)Circular dichroism exhibits differential absorption✓

B)Raman scattering generates Stokes shifts

C)X-ray diffraction reveals crystal structure

D)Quantum tunneling leads to product contamination

💡 Explanation

Circular dichroism arises because differential absorption occurs as polarized light interacts with chiral target molecules; therefore, different enantiomers absorb different components of circularly polarized light rather than simply shifting the frequency via Raman scattering.
