Please include explanations and work. Please write it out (do not type it out) so its easy to understand/follow

**6. Circle which compound(s) is(are) meso compound(s):** The image shows three chemical structures: 1. **Left Structure**: A two-carbon chain with hydroxyl (OH) groups attached to each carbon, depicted as a Fischer projection. The hydroxyl groups are oriented in opposite directions. 2. **Middle Structure**: A cyclopentane ring with one substituent on the ring. The specific structure of the substituent is not detailed. 3. **Right Structure**: A three-carbon chain with hydroxyl groups on the first and third carbons. The hydroxyl groups are represented with specific stereochemical orientations. To analyze which of these structures is a meso compound, consider if the compound has chiral centers and an internal plane of symmetry, making it optically inactive despite having chiral centers.
