Detailed Solution

 Glucose reacts with methanol, in presence of dry HCl, to form alpha and beta methyl glycosides.

C6H12O6+CH3OHα-C6H11O6CH3+β-C6H11O6CH3

The formation of alpha and beta methyl glycosides is due to the ring structure of glucose, as the methyl alcohol can attack the anomeric carbon in 2 ways, leading to these two configurations.

Hence the correct answer is (C) P-alcoholic group.
