Answer:
The answer is E. All of the statements describe the anomeric carbon.
Explanation:
When a sugar switches from its open form to its ring form, the carbon from the carbonyl (aldehyde if it is an aldose, or a ketone in the case of a ketose) suffers a nucleophilic addition by one of the hydroxyls in the chain, preferably one that will form a 5 or 6 membered ring after the reaction.
As such, the anomeric carbon will have two oxygens attached (The original one and the one that bonded when the ring closed).
It will be chiral, given that it has 4 different groups attached. (-OR,-OH,-H and -R, where R is the carbon chain).
The hydroxyl group can be in any position (Above of below the ring), depending on with side the addition took place. (See attachment)
It is the carbon of the carbonyl in the open-chain form of the sugar, because it is the only one that can react with the Hydroxyls.

The statements that describe a nuclear reaction are may involve a change in total mass, involve very high-energy changes, and involve changes in nuclides when decay takes place.
There are two kinds of nuclear reactions, that is, fission and fusion. Fusion involves the fusion of two light atoms into a heavier atom, while fission involves the splitting of an unstable isotope (with a high mass number) into stable elements of lower mass number, which vary in features from the parent atoms. Both the reactions discharge huge concentration of energies in the process.
