(B) $ \alpha-D-Glucose $ and $ \beta-D-Glucose $ are examples of anomers. Anomers are a type of stereoisomer that differ in configuration only at the anomeric carbon (the $ C-1 $ carbon in aldoses). Since they differ specifically at the anomeric carbon,they are classified as anomers,which is a special case of epimers.
