Answer:
Glyceraldehyde serves as the basis in naming monosaccharides since it is the simplest monosaccharide, having only one asymmetric carbon. (+)-Glyceraldehyde was arbitrarily named the D-enantiomer (the hydroxy group is on the right when drawn as a Fischer Projection).

Answer:
Anomers are those who have different arrangement at C−1 carbon. Epimers are those who have different arrangement at any other carbon.
Thus, in (I) and (III), the arrangement of OMe is different which is at C−1carbon. Thus (I) and (III) are anomers.
In (I) & (II) the arrangement of −OH is different at C−4 carbon, thus (I) and (II) are C−4 epimers.
