Solution

The correct option is A $C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} \to 6 C + 6 H_{2} O$
Sulphuric acid reacts with glucose to produce carbon and hydrated sulphuric acid.
$6 H_{2} S O_{4}$ $+$ $C_{6} H_{12} O_{6}$ $⟶$ $6 C$ $+$ $6 (H_{2} S O_{4}$ $H_{2} O)$
Hence it removes the water from glucose.
(a) So this reaction shows the behaviour of Sulphuric acid as a strong dehydrating agent.
(b) Shows the decomposition of Sulphuric acid.
(d) Shows the acidic behaviour of Sulphuric acid.
(c) Shows the $H_{2} S O_{4}$ as oxidising agent.
