The general formula of a monosaccharide is
A
CnH2nOn
B
CnH2nO2n
C
CnHnOn
D
C2nHnOn
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A monosaccharide is the simplest form of carbohydrate which is composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. The basic formula of the monosaccharide is CnH2nOn.

Detailed explanation-2: -The general formula for a monosaccharide is (CH2O)n. Monosaccharides are the simplest form of carbohydrate, which means they cannot be hydrolyzed or broken down into smaller carbohydrates.

Detailed explanation-3: -Monosaccharides have the general formula CnH2nOn. Glyceraldehyde is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Glyceraldehyde exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans.

Detailed explanation-4: -The general formula of monosaccharides is CnH2nOn.

Detailed explanation-5: -the general formula of monosaccharides is (CH2O)n, and polysaccharides are formed by monosaccharide units bound together by glycosidic linkages. formula is Cn(H2O)n−1.
