Solution

The correct option is D I and III are anomers; I and II are epimers
Anomers are those who have different arrangement at C1 carbon. Epimers are those who have different arrangement at any other carbon.
Thus, in (I) and (III), the arrangement of OMe is different which is at C1 carbon. Thus (I) and (III) are anomers.
In (I) & (II) the arrangement of OH is different at C4 carbon, thus (I) and (II) are C4 epimers.
