The two forms of D-glucopyranose obtained from the solution of D-glucose are called
  1. Isomer
  2. Anomer
  3. Epimer
  4. Enantiomer

Solution

Two forms of D-glucopyranose are $\alpha-\mathrm{D}-(+)$-glucopyranose and $\beta-\mathrm{D}-$ (+)-glucopyranose. These are anomers (a pair of stereoisomers) which differ in configuration only around first carbon atom are called anomers.
