Solution

The correct option is C
It has a hydrogen atom in the common (non-functional) group

Ketoses are simple sugars, that can be formed from 3 upto 7 carbons. All monosaccharides are reducing sugars, because the aldoses contain the aldehyde group that can easily be oxidised to acid, and the ketoses can tautomerize in solution to form the aldehyde group.
