Solution

The correct option is B a ketohexose
It is a β-furanose, hence, a ketohexose.

A ketohexose is a ketone-containing hexose (a six-carbon monosaccharide). The most common ketohexoses, each of which represents a pair of enantiomers (D- and L-isomers), include psicose, fructose, sorbose, and tagatose.
