Sucrose
C
Maltose
D
Lactose
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The six membered cyclic structure of glucose is called pyranose structure or form, in analogy with Pyran.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glucose is a monosaccharide containing six carbon atoms and an aldehyde group, and is therefore an aldohexose.

Detailed explanation-3: -The ring is made up of six members that contain 5 Carbon and 1 Oxygen atom. The pyranose ring of glucose is formed by reacting the hydroxyl group positioned on the fifth Carbon of glucose with the aldehyde group attached to the first position of the Carbon atom of the same glucose molecule.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glucose (also known as dextrose) is a carbohydrate compound consisting of six carbon atoms and an aldehyde group and they are referred to as aldohexose. The glucose structure can exist in an open-chain (acyclic) and ring (cyclic) form.
