Solution

The D-form of given sugar is

Hence, there are three chiral carbon atoms.

$∴$ Total number of steriosomers of D-pyransoe is $2^{3}$ = 8

C H O - C H_{2} - C H O H - C H O H - C H O H - C H_{2} O H

C H_{3} - C H = C = C H - C H = C = C = C H - C H = C = C H - C H_{3}

C l - C H = C H - C l | C | H - C H = C H - C l
