Solution

The correct option is A $C_{1}$
In carbohydrate chemistry, diastereomers differing only at the hemiacetal or acetal carbon are called anomers, and the hemiacetal or acetal carbon atom is called the anomeric carbon atom. 𝛼-form & 𝛽-form, are called anomers. Thus $C_{1}$ carbon becomes the anomeric carbon of glucose in its pyranose form.
