Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Enantiomers are pairs of molecules that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other. In the given molecule, pairs B and D, and C and A are mirror images of each other and hence, are enantiomers. Therefore, the correct answer is option C (pairs B and D). Option E is incorrect because it includes pairs A and B as enantiomers, which is not the case.
