(a)
Interpretation: For the given set of molecules the stereochemical relationship should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
The stereoisomerism is the arrangement of atoms in molecules whose connectivity remains the same but their arrangement is different in each isomer.
The compounds that have the same molecular formula but different chemical structures are constitutional isomers.
Diastereomers occurs when two or more stereoisomers of compound have different configurations at one or more of the equivalent stereocenters and are not mirror images of each other.
