no as there is no chiral carbon
chiral carbons in cyclo and aromatic compounds are identified in same way as in aliphatic ,i.e., all four groups attached should be different.

this compoun  is  not optically active as it contain plane of symmetry
if any compound had plane of symmetry , axis of symmetry ,
alternate axis of symmetry, or ither one then it is not optically active
chirality can be judged easily by looking that all the griups are diffderent and sp3 hybridised carbon
 
approve if useful
