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

A
B
C
D

Step-by-Step Solution

D-(+)-glucose reacts with hydroxylamine (NH2OHNH_2OH) to form an oxime. The reaction involves the carbonyl group (aldehyde) at C-1 condensing with the NH2-NH_2 group of hydroxylamine, eliminating a water molecule to form an oxime group (CH=NOHCH=NOH). The stereochemistry of the rest of the molecule (C-2 to C-6) remains unchanged.
