• A. A-ii; B-iii; C-i; D-iv
• B. A-ii; B-iii; C-iv; D-i
• C. A-iii; B-ii; C-i; D-iv
• D. A-ii; B-i; C-iii; D-iv

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

A-ii; B-iii; C-i; D-iv

Ribose is an aldopentose. It is an aldehyde and contains 5 carbon atoms.

$\alpha$-D-Glucose and $\beta$-D-Glucose is anomers. They differ in the configuration at C-1 carbon atoms.

D-Glucose and L-Glucose are enantiomers. They are non-superimposable mirror images of each other.

Glucose and Fructose are functional isomers. Glucose is an aldehyde and fructose is a ketone.
