Detailed Solution

Stereoisomers are actually configuration isomers. Thus they can be diastereomers (geometrical/optical) and enantiomers (non superimposable mirror image). Stereoisomers are not constitutional isomers, thus cannot be tautomers and positional isomers. Conformational isomers deal with bond rotation without change in configuration, thus, stereoisomers cannot be conformational isomers.
