Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Fructose

Fructose is a monosaccharide, the simplest form of carbohydrate. It is found in many plants, where it is often bonded to glucose to form the disaccharide sucrose. Its formula is $C_6{H}_{1}2O_6$. Fructose is found in honey, tree and vine fruits, flowers, berries, and most root vegetables.
