Chiral carbons are circled in the three compounds:

Step by step solution

01

Definition of chiral carbons

The carbon atom which is attached to 4 different substituents is called Chiral carbon.

02

Identification of Chiral Carbons

The chiral carbons attached to four different substituents are circled green.

Hence, the chiral carbons were identified and circled.
