n = 6 monosaccharides
A
Hexose
B
Pentose
C
Triose
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In chemistry, a hexose is a monosaccharide (simple sugar) with six carbon atoms. The chemical formula for all hexoses is C6H12O6, and their molecular weight is 180.156 g/mol.

Detailed explanation-2: -The most common hexoses are glucose, galactose, mannose, and fructose. The first three are aldoses, whereas fructose is a ketose.

Detailed explanation-3: -The common six-carbon sugars (hexoses) are D-glucose, D-fructose, D-galactose, and D-mannose.

Detailed explanation-4: -Each of the three common monosaccharides is hexoses, containing 6 carbon, 12 hydrogen, and 6 oxygen molecules in slightly varied configurations. The three most common monosaccharides are glucose, fructose, and galactose.
