a carbon atom bound to identical groups.
a carbon atom that forms a double bond with oxygen.
a carbon atom bound to four different groups.
a carbon atom bound to three different groups.

Explanation:

In organic chemistry, a chiral center is defined as a carbon atom bonded to four distinct groups, which gives rise to chirality in molecules.

Answer:

C. A carbon atom bound to four different groups.
