D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The terms (prefixes) erythro and threo are used to describe diastereomers with two chiral carbons (usually adjacent). Erythro means two identical ligands are on the same side while threo means on opposite sides of the carbon chain when expressed as a Fischer projection. configuarion (3) represents an erythro stereoisomer as the two `H's` or two `OMe's` on the chiral carbons are on the same side.
