Q.
The correct statement about the compounds (A), (B) and (C) is
A) (A) and (B) are identical
B) (A) and (B) are diastereomers
C) (A) and (C) are enantiomers
D) (A) and(B) are enantiomers
Explanation
(d)
(i) Eantiomers are pair of optical isomers which are related as non-superimposable mirror images of each other.
(ii) Diasteriomers are pair of optical isomers which cannot be related as non-superimposable mirror images of each other.
$\therefore$ The only correct statement about given structures is that (A) and (B) are enantiomers.
