Solution

The correct option is C A - Glucose
B - Ribose
Monosaccharides on the basis of the number of carbon atoms present in them are divided into trioses 3C, tetrose 4C, pentose 5C and hexoses 6C.
In the given figure, the 6C compound is the glucose and the 5C sugar is the ribose which is present in the nucleic acid.
So, the correct option is 'A-Glucose and B-Ribose'
