Question
In this exercise on carbohydrates and stereochemistry, you are presented with a structural representation of D-glucose and tasked with identifying its enantiomer, L-glucose, from the given options.

### Question 14:
The question asks: "D-glucose is shown below. Which of the choices below is its enantiomer L-glucose?"

### D-glucose Structure:
The structure of D-glucose is presented in a Fischer projection as follows:

```
CHO
 |
H—C—OH
 |
HO—C—H
 |
H—C—OH
 |
H—C—OH
 |
 CH2OH
```

### Possible Answers:
Five different configurations of glucose are provided as options (a to e) to determine which one is L-glucose.

**Options:**
- **a.**
  ```
  CHO
   |
H—C—OH
   |
HO—C—H
   |
HO—C—H
   |
H—C—OH
   |
 CH2OH
  ```

- **b.**
  ```
  CHO
   |
HO—C—H
   |
H—C—OH
   |
HO—C—H
   |
H—C—OH
   |
 CH2OH
  ```

- **c.**
  ```
  CHO
   |
HO—C—H
   |
H—C—OH
   |
H—C—OH
   |
H—C—OH
   |
 CH2OH
  ```

- **d.**
  ```

   |
 CH2OH
  ```

- **e.**
  ```
  CHO
   |
HO—C—H
   |
H—C—OH
   |
HO—C—H
   |
H—C—OH
   |
 CH2OH
  ```

### Task:
Identify which structure (from a to e) is the enantiomer of the given D-glucose. Enantiomers are mirror images of each other, with all chiral centers inverted.

This exercise helps in understanding and visualizing the concept of stereochemistry and chiral molecules in organic chemistry.
