Answer to Problem 1SAQ
Correct answer: Option (a) is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for the correct option: The structure is:
The above structure contains multiple hydroxyl groups and has formula
Reasons for the incorrect options: Option (b) is incorrect because according to its structure, it cannot be represented by general formula of carbohydrate due to presence of
