Step1: Recall Fischer - wedge - dash conversion rules
In Fischer projection, horizontal bonds are in front (wedged) and vertical bonds are behind (dashed). For the given Fischer projection, the top - left Br is in front and the bottom - right Br is also in front.
Step2: Analyze each option
In option A, the stereochemistry is incorrect as the relative positions of the Br atoms are not as per the Fischer projection. In option B, the first Br is wedged (in front) and the second Br is dashed (behind) which is incorrect. In option C, the two Br atoms are both in front (wedged) which matches the Fischer projection where the horizontal bonds are in front. In option D, the stereochemistry is wrong with respect to the Fischer projection.
