Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
The two cyclic hemiacetal forms of glucose differ only in the configuration of hydroxyl group at C−1, called anomeric carbon (the aldehyde carbon before cyclisation). Such isomers, i.e., α&β form are called anomers.Hence, both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
