Solution

The correct option is A It is an aldohexose
An aldohexose is a hexose with an aldehyde group on one end. The aldohexoses have four chiral centers for a total of 16 possible aldohexose stereoisomers (2^4). Of these, only three commonly occur in nature:D-glucose,D-galactose, and D-mannose.
So, the correct option is 'It is an aldohexose'.
