Solution
The correct option is C C-4 epimer When there is a change in configuration at only one chiral centre in a molecule, this pair is called as epimers. Remaining positions are same in the two molecules. C−1 epimer is known as anomer.
Trick: MAGI; for remembering epimers of glucose.
M-mannose; epimer at C−2
A-allose; epimer at C−3
G-galactose; epimer at C−4
I-Idose; epimer at C−5
Hence, (c) is correct.
