(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Diastereomer for the given compound has to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Chiral center: A chiral center is defined as the tetrahedral carbon atom in an organic molecule that is connected to four non-identical groups/substituents. It is sometimes known as a stereo genic center.

Diastereomers: These are stereoisomers that are not enantiomers of one another; they are not mirror objects of each other. They have different physical properties so that they are viewed as different chemical substances.
