12) Ans - all of the above
To be optically active, the compound must be chiral and should not have mirror plane symmetry. Thus, compounds which is achiral are optically inactive. Moreover, meso compound have internal mirror plane symmetry such that one half becomes the mirror image of other and hence, optical rotation due to one half gets canceled by the other. In case of racemic mixture and 50-50 mixture of the R and S isomers are also optically in active, as, rotation due to one half gets canceled out due to other and hence net rotation becomes zero.
