The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states that "all monosaccharides are reducing sugars." - **Definition**: Reducing sugars are sugars that can donate electrons or reduce another molecule. This property is typically due to the presence of a free aldehyde or ketone group. ### Step 2: Understand the Reason The reason states that "monosaccharides contain free aldehyde or free ketonic group." - **Explanation**: Monosaccharides, such as glucose and fructose, have either a free aldehyde group (in the case of aldoses) or a free ketone group (in the case of ketoses). This is what allows them to act as reducing sugars. ### Step 3: Analyze the Relationship Now we need to determine if the reason correctly explains the assertion. - Since all monosaccharides do indeed contain a free aldehyde or ketone group, they can act as reducing sugars. Therefore, the reason does provide a correct explanation for the assertion. ### Conclusion Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. ### Final Answer (a) If both assertion & Reason are true & the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion. ---
