When the following aldohexose exists in its D-configuration, the total number of streoisomers in its pyranose form is: CHO−CH2−CHOH−CHOH−CHOH−CH2OH

Solution
D- form has OH group in right hand side at the farthest achiral carbon to the carbonyl group.
In the pyranose form there are 3 chiral centres so there will be 23=8 sterioisomers
