The correct option is B

Anomers are also epimers


Epimers are those diastereomers which differ in the configuration of only one chiral carbon which may be C1,C2,C3, etc,; while anomers are diastereomers that differ in the configuration of a specific chiral carbon which is C1 in aldoses and C2 in ketoses.
