(a)

Interpretation: The given compounds A, B and C are to be labeled as D or L-sugar.

Concept introduction: A sugar molecule in which hydroxyl group of second last carbon atom is on the left and right side of the horizontal line is known as L-sugar and D-sugar, respectively.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation: The relation between A and B, A and C, B and C is to be determined from enantiomers, diastereomers and constitutional isomers.

Concept introduction: Two compounds which are non-superimposable mirror images of each other are known as enantiomers. Whereas two compounds which are neither superimposable nor mirror images to each other are known as diastereomer. On the other hand, two compounds that have same molecular formula but different structural arrangement of atoms are known as constitutional isomers.
