(D) $1$. $D$-glucose and $L$-glucose are enantiomers. To obtain the Fischer projection of $L$-glucose,we invert the configuration at all chiral centers of $D$-glucose.$2$. In $D$-glucose,the $-OH$ groups are at $C2$ (right),$C3$ (left),$C4$ (right),and $C5$ (right).$3$. In $L$-glucose,the $-OH$ groups are at $C2$ (left),$C3$ (right),$C4$ (left),and $C5$ (left).$4$. The cyclization of $L$-glucose involves the nucleophilic attack of the $-OH$ group at $C5$ on the carbonyl carbon $(C1)$.$5$. For the $\beta$-anomer,the $-OH$ group at the anomeric carbon $(C1)$ is on the same side as the $-CH_2OH$ group (in the Haworth projection,both are pointing up).$6$. Based on the provided solution image,the structure of $\beta-L$-glucopyranose is correctly represented by option $D$.

The Fischer projection of $D$-glucose is given below. The correct structure$(s)$ of $\beta-L$-glucopyranose is (are)
