D

Solution

Presence of carbonyl group and multiple hydroxyl groups are the two functional groups characteristics of sugars. Depending on the location of the carbonyl group, a sugar is either an aldose (aldehyde sugar) or a ketose (ketone sugar). Glucose, for example, is an aldose; fructose, an isomer of glucose, is a ketose.
