  • A
    Glucose cyanohydrin
  • B
    Glucose oxime
  • Correct answer
    C
    n-Hexane
  • D
    Saccharic acid

Solution

$\underset{\text { Glucose }}{\mathrm{CHO}(\mathrm{CHOH})_4 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{OH}} \xrightarrow{\Delta, \mathrm{HI}} \mathrm{CH}_3-\left(\mathrm{CH}_2\right)_4-\mathrm{CH}_3$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
