How do chair flips and mutarotation affect the equilibrium dynamics of pyranose rings?

• A. Chair flips and mutarotation both change conformations, leading to stable equilibrium dynamics.
• B. Chair flips allow interconversion between conformations, while mutarotation changes configurations, impacting equilibrium stability.
• C. Chair flips and mutarotation both change configurations, leading to unstable equilibrium dynamics.
• D. Chair flips stabilize equilibrium by maintaining configurations, while mutarotation destabilizes it by changing conformations.
