Solution

The correct option is B gluconic acid
Glucose undergoes an oxidation reaction to give gluconic acid in the presence of bromine water solution. Bromine water is a mild oxidizing agent which selectively oxidizes aldehyde to carboxylic acid only. It doesn’t oxidize alcohol or ketone.
The above reaction confirms carbonyl group present in glucose as aldehydic group.
