Detailed Solution

The basic formula of monosaccharides has five carbon atoms called Pentose.
Hereditary materials, for example, DNA and RNA present inside the ribose sugar, are a combination of five-carbon sugars and connects the nitrogenous bases at the primary carbon atom on the ring.
Deoxyribose sugar is present in the DNA, and ribose sugar is present in the RNA.
Heptose is a monosaccharide with seven carbon atom rings.
Hexose is a monosaccharide with six carbon atom ring.
Tetrose is a monosaccharide with four carbon atom ring.

Hence, option D is the correct answer.
