Explanation:

Among all the options listed, only compound (c) is a carbohydrate and it is a trisaccharide.

Carbohydrates are represented by the formula (CH2O)n, the subscript n denotes the number of carbon atoms in the carbohydrate. Carbohydrates contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in the ratio of 1:2:1.

Carbohydrates can have linear structures and cyclic structures. The cyclic structure as in (c) is mostly obtained in solution. All carbohydrates are six carbon sugars linked together at a certain point as in structure (c).
