Solution

The correct option is C C
Glucose is a simple hexosse sugar with the molecular formula C₆H₁₂O₆. Glucose is the most abundant monosaccharide, a subcategory of carbohydrates.

Ribose is a simple pentose sugar and carbohydrate with molecular formula C₅H₁₀O₅. The naturally-occurring form, d-ribose, is a component of the ribonucleotides from which RNA is built, and so this compound is necessary for coding, decoding, regulation and expression of genes.
