Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\mathrm{C}_1\) and \(\mathrm{C}_5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The ring structure of glucose is formed by reaction between the formyl \((-\mathrm{CHO})\) group \((\mathrm{C}-1)\) and the alcoholic \((-\mathrm{OH})\) group at \(\mathrm{C}-5\).
