The correct option is D +52.5o
The specific rotation of α-D-glucopyranose decreases from +112° to +52.5°.
The specific rotation of β-D-glucopyranose increases from +19° to +52.5°.
The specific rotation of equimolar mixture of α - D(+) - glucose and β - D(+) - glucose has a specific rotation 52.50.

Hence, the correct option is C.
