Answer #1

a. shows enantiomers, as they both have two chiral centers and different positioning of the phenyl and hidroxy groups.

b. shows diasteromers, as one of them is cis and the other trans. The first one shows different orientation of groups, whereas the second one both show the same orientation.

c. shows two identical compounds. They are just rotated, but apart from that they are exactly the same. Suffice it that they rotate enough to meet the same spots and look identical.

d. shows two totally different compounds. they are substituted in different places, being the first one 1-choloro-3-methyl cyclopentane, and the second one 1-chloro-2-methyl cyclopentane. These are also structural isomers, for they share the same molecular formula but a different arrangement of atoms.
