Solution
Anomers of glucose differ in configuration at C-1 in cyclic hemiacetal structure.
$$
\begin{aligned}
& \therefore \alpha \text {-anomer } \Rightarrow \mathrm{m} \cdot \mathrm{p} \cdot \rightarrow 419 \mathrm{~K} \\
& \beta \text {-anomer } \Rightarrow \mathrm{m} \cdot \mathrm{p} \cdot \rightarrow 423 \mathrm{~K}
\end{aligned}
$$
$\Rightarrow \alpha$ and $\beta$-anomers of glucose are prepared by crystallization of saturated glucose solution at 303 K and 371 K respectively.
$\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B}, \mathrm{E} \Rightarrow$ correct.
