The name includes the prefix "TB", which stands for "tert-butyl", indicating that there is a tert-butyl group present. The name also includes the suffix "_00", which denotes the stereochemistry of the diol. In this case, the stereochemistry is (1R,2S), which corresponds to choice D. Therefore, D is the best choice.
