A
saccharides
B
monosaccharides
C
disaccharides
D
polysaccharides
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Monosaccharides are the simplest carbohydrates; most of them are sugars. Monosaccharides may have between three and eight carbon atoms, but only those with five carbons (pentoses) and six carbons (hexoses) are common.

Detailed explanation-2: -Monosaccharides are the simplest carbs, in that your body cannot break them down further. This allows your body to absorb them quickly and easily, with the exception of fructose. There are three types of monosaccharides ( 1 ): Glucose: Fruits and vegetables are natural sources of glucose.

Detailed explanation-3: -Monosaccharides are the simplest carbohydrates. They typically contain three to six carbon atoms and cannot be hydrolyzed into smaller molecules. Examples include glucose and fructose.

Detailed explanation-4: -Monosaccharides (from Greek monos: single, sacchar: sugar), also called simple sugars, are the simplest forms of sugar and the most basic units (monomers) from which all carbohydrates are built. (though not all molecules with this formula are monosaccharides).

Detailed explanation-5: -So, the correct answer is ‘Glyceraldehyde’.
