The correct option is D $C H_{3} C O O H$
Empirical formula of Glucose $C_{6} H_{12} O_{6}$ = $C_{1} H_{2} O_{1}$
Now, Empirical formula of $C H_{3} C O O H = C_{1} H_{2} O_{1}$
As empirical formula is the simplest whole number ratio of number of different types of atoms present in the given molecular formula.
