Solution

The correct option is A monosaccharide
Monosaccharides, also called simple sugars, are the simplest form of sugar and the most basic units of carbohydrates. They cannot be further hydrolyzed to simpler chemical compounds.
As the glucose can't be hydrolyzed in further simpler chemical compounds that's why it is considered as monosaccharide.
