Solution

The correct option is D Aldohexose
Prefix 'aldo' and 'keto' is used for the functional groups aldehydes and ketones respectively in naming of carbohydrates.
As the given structure has an aldehyde group, its name should start with prefix-aldo. It contains 6C, so it is Aldohexose.
Hence, (d) is correct.
