Answer:
B. They are stereoisomers
C. They are enantiomers
Explanation:
Let us consider all the options
A. D and L-glucose are not necessarily furanose, they can also be in free form (open chain) or as a six-membered ring (pyranose)
B. These sugars are stereoisomers as they have the same molecular formula, same bonds but with the different spacial arrangement.
C. Two structures are called enantiomers, if they are stereoisomers and are mirror images of each other and are not-superimposable. The given pair of structures satisfy these conditions
D. Epimers are diastereoisomers (same molecular formula and connectivity having a different spacial arrangement but are not mirror images and non-superimposable) with only one different stereocenter (if there are more than one). This is not the case
E. All monosaccharides (any sugar that cannot be hydrolysed to a simpler sugar) are reducing sugars. So, this option is invalid
The Labrador current affects the climate of Canada and Greenland because it creates one of the densest concentrations of fog in the world occurs.
