(a) structure (b) structure

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

Ans. Identical.

Sol. Both Newman projections represent FCH(OH)-CHD(OH). The configuration at each centre is the same in both drawings, because (b) is (a) with every group moved one position round the carbon (a rotation about the C-C bond, not a change of configuration). The two are superimposable : identical.
