Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Using Cahn-Ingold-Prelog priority: (highest atomic number) (lowest)In a Fischer projection, if the lowest priority group (4) is on the vertical line, the direction 1 2 3 gives the configuration ( for clockwise, for counter-clockwise). If (4) is on the horizontal line, the result is reversed.For configuration (C): (top), (bottom), (right), (left). Group 4 is on vertical. 1() 2() 3() is clockwise. This is .
