What kind of isomerism does this alcohol show?

Alcohol D apparently exists as a pair of isomers, both of which are oxidised to ketone F. What's this kind of isomerism? Structural?

I reckon structural but it's still a secondary alcohol!

If both alcohols are forms of the same secondary alcohol then the only possibility is optical isomerism ...
