The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statement regarding D-glucose, D-galactose, and D-fructose, we need to evaluate each of the options provided: 1. **Isomers**: Isomers are compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structural formulas. D-glucose, D-galactose, and D-fructose all have the molecular formula C6H12O6, but they differ in structure. Therefore, they can be considered isomers. This option is correct. 2. **Epimers**: Epimers are a specific type of isomer that differ in configuration at only one specific carbon atom. D-glucose and D-galactose are epimers because they differ at the C-4 carbon. However, D-fructose is not an epimer of either D-glucose or D-galactose. Therefore, this option is incorrect. 3. **Aldohexoses**: Aldohexoses are six-carbon sugars that contain an aldehyde group. D-glucose and D-galactose are both aldohexoses, while D-fructose is a ketohexose (it contains a ketone group). Therefore, this option is incorrect. 4. **Monosaccharides**: Monosaccharides are the simplest form of carbohydrates and cannot be hydrolyzed into simpler sugars. D-glucose, D-galactose, and D-fructose are all monosaccharides. Therefore, this option is correct. Based on the analysis: - **Correct Options**: 1 (Isomers) and 4 (Monosaccharides) - **Incorrect Options**: 2 (Epimers) and 3 (Aldohexoses) ### Final Answer: D-glucose, D-galactose, and D-fructose are all isomers and monosaccharides.
