Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Diastereomers are stereoisomers that are not mirror images of each other. By comparing the four structures, we can see that A and C are enantiomers, and B and D are also enantiomers. Therefore, the pairs of diastereomers are A and B, A and D, B and C, and C and D. Option D lists all of these pairs correctly.
