Solution

The correct option is C Ketoheptose
Prefix 'aldo' and 'keto' is used for the functional groups aldehydes and ketones respectively in naming of carbohydrates.
As the given structure has a ketone group, its name should start with prefix-keto. It contains 7C, so it is Ketoheptose.
Hence, (c) is correct.
