• A. epimers
• B. anomers
• C. enantiomers
• D. geometrical isomers

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

anomers

$\text{Two forms of D-glucopyranose are α−D−(+)-glucopyranose and β−D−(+)-glucopyranose. These are anomers}$ $\text{(a pair of stereoisomers ) which differ in a configuration only around first carbon atom are called anomers.}$

Option B is correct.
