A
1. saccharic acid2. monocarboxylic acid
B
1. saccharic acid2. dicarboxylic acid
C
1. gluconic acid2. dicarboxylic acid
D
1. gluconic acid2. monocarboxylic acid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Therefore, glucose on oxidation with bromine water yields gluconic acid. This reaction confirms presence of Option (C) aldehyde group in glucose.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glucose on oxidation with bromine water yields gluconic acid.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glucose on reaction with bromine water gives Gluconic acid. Aldehyde group is oxidized to carboxylic group.

Detailed explanation-4: -When glucose is treated with bromine water, Bromine water gets decolourised.

Detailed explanation-5: -The correct option is: dExplanation:Oxidation of glucose by Br2-water gives gluconic acid.
