Given below are two statements:
| Assertion (A): | D (+) - Glucose is dextrorotatory in nature. |
| Reason (R): | D represents its dextrorotatory nature. |
| 1. | (A) and (R) both are correct statements and (R) explains the (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are wrong statements. |
| 3. | (A) is the correct statement and (R) is the wrong statement. |
| 4. | (A) is the wrong statement and (R) 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.
