These are not optical isomers they are functional group isomers a subcategory of structural isomers.
The structural isomer of CH3CH2COOH with a lower boiling point is CH3COOCH3 (option B). This is because esters typically have lower boiling points compared to carboxylic acids due to weaker intermolecular forces.
The conjugate base for CH3CH2COOH is CH3CH2COO-.

Isomers are compounds with the same chemical formula but different structures. They can have different physical and chemical properties due to their unique arrangement of atoms. Examples include structural isomers, geometric isomers, and optical isomers.
The optical isomers of D-fructose are D-fructose (also known as D-arabino-hexulose) and L-fructose (also known as L-sorbofuranose). These isomers differ in their spatial arrangement around a chiral carbon atom, leading to different optical properties.
Optical isomers are isomers of molecules which are non-superimposible. They have a left hand and a right hand and this is how you distinguish between them.
The structural isomer of CH3CH2COOH with a lower boiling point is CH3COOCH3 (option B). This is because esters typically have lower boiling points compared to carboxylic acids due to weaker intermolecular forces.
Optical isomers are those which have one or more asymmetric carbon atoms their optical activity means a tendency to rotate the plane of plane polarized light but some of such molecules have an internal symmetry as meso form of Tartaric acid , this is the optical isomer of Tartaric acid but is optically inactive.

l ascorbic acid and d ascorbic acid are optical isomers of each other. Optical isomers have the same physical and chemical properties but bend the plane of polarisation of polarized light in different directions.It is also called ChiralitySee the related link for more info on optical isomers.

1,2-dichloropropane exists as an optical isomer.

The optical isomers of D-fructose are D-fructose (also known as D-arabino-hexulose) and L-fructose (also known as L-sorbofuranose). These isomers differ in their spatial arrangement around a chiral carbon atom, leading to different optical properties.
Some isomers lack optical activity because they have a plane of symmetry or a center of symmetry that results in the molecule being superimposable on its mirror image. This makes them achiral and unable to rotate the plane of polarized light, thus lacking optical activity.
