Solution

The correct option is C Shows the presence of six carbons linked linearly.
On prolonged heating with red P & HI, it forms n-Hexane, suggesting that all the six carbon atoms are linked in a straight chain.

This confirms the presence of 6 carbon linked linearly in glucose. Hence option (c) is correct.
