D(+) glucose reacts with hydroxylamine and yields an oxime. The structure of the oxime would be:
A -
B -
C -
D -

Detailed Solution

Glucose reacts with hydroxylamine to form an oxime: only the –CHO group changes to –CH=N–OH.
The configuration at C-2 to C-5 stays that of D(+)-glucose (OH on the right at C-2, left at C-3, right at C-4 and C-5).
