Solution
The correct options are
A 
B 
Obviously, geometrical isomers are diastereomers. Hence the following are diastereomers: 
and 
are both
Let us take this compound:
I want you to find out the IUPAC name with the R/S information. 
Now take its mirror image and give me the configuration:
Hence the above two are enantiomers and by definition cannot bediastereomers!
Now what can you say about
Again, these two are a pair of enantiomers. So they can’t be diastereoisomers.
