  1. A D-glucose, D-fructose and D-galactose
  2. B D-fructose, D-mannose and D-galactose
  3. C D-glucose, D-mannose and D-galactose
  4. D D-glucose, D-fructose and D-mannose
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) D-glucose, D-fructose and D-mannose

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Osazone formation involves the reaction of the first two carbon atoms of a sugar with phenylhydrazine. Sugars that differ only in the configuration at the first and second carbon atoms (epimers at C-2) form the same osazone. D-glucose, D-fructose, and D-mannose share the same…
