Given below are two statements:
| Assertion (A): | D (+) - Glucose is dextrorotatory in nature. |
| Reason (R): | D represents its dextrorotatory nature. |
| 1. | Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason explains the assertion. |
| 2. | Both assertion and reason are wrong statements. |
| 3. | Assertion is the correct statement and reason is the wrong statement. |
| 4. | Assertion is the wrong statement and reason is the correct statement. |
The assertion is correct but the reason is wrong statement D (+) glucose is dextrorotatory because it rotates the plane-polarized light in the right direction.
Here, D represents the relative configuration of glucose with respect to glyceraldehyde.
