(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The relationship between the given pair of the structures has to be predicted.

Concept introduction: There are two types of stereoisomers,called enantiomers and diastereomers.  The stereoisomers that do not form mirror images of each other are called diastereomers.  The enantiomers are the molecules that form non-superimposable mirror images of each other.
