Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Both statements I and II are correct.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Glucose does not react with Schiff's reagent because the aldehyde group in glucose is not free. It is involved in the formation of hemiacetal. Glucose exists in two different crystalline anomeric forms, alpha D-glucose and beta D-glucose. Thus, statements I and II are correct.
