Solution

The correct option is B Diastereomer
Diastereomers are defined as compounds which have the same molecular formula and sequence of bonded elements but which are non-superimposable, non-mirror images of each other.
Thus, given pair are diastereomer of each other as they are not mirror image of each other.
