Which one of the statements conceming the equilibriurn shown is true ?

c $(c)\, \alpha -D-$ glucose $\overset{Mutarotation}{\longleftrightarrow}$ $\beta - D- $glucose

Question

A
The two structures are enantiomers of each other. They have equal but opposite optical rotations and recemize slowly at room temperature
B
The two structures are enantiomers of each other. They racemize too rapidly at roorn temperature for their optical rotations to be measured
C
The two structures are diastereomers of each other. Their interconversion is called mutarotation
D
The two structures are diastereomers of each other. Their interconversion does not require breaking and making bonds, only a change in conformation
