    A)  structural isomers

    B)  anomers

    C)  diastereomers

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     Schiffs reagent and Schiffs bases are entirely different compounds. Schiffs reagent is magenta solution (Rosaniline dye) decolourised by sulphurous acid\[({{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{3}})\]. Schiff base is obtained by condensation of aldehydes/ketones with amines, \[RCH=O+{{H}_{2}}N\,R\xrightarrow[-{{H}_{2}}O]{{}}\underset{Schiffs\,\,base}{\mathop{RCH=NR}}\,\]
