Solution

The correct option is C

M and P are enantiomers


Converting all of them into Fischer projection.

Since, M and N have – OH on same side and opposite side respectively, they cannot be mirror image, they are diastereomers.

M and O are identical.
Note Fischer projection represents eclipse form of Sawhorse projection.
For comparison purpose, similar types of eclipse conformers must be drawn i.e. both vertically up and down.
M and P are non – superimposable mirror images, hence, enantiomers.
