  • The basic formula of the carbohydrate is CnH2nOn
  • The simplest sugars are composed of a single monosaccharide. 
  • ?The monosaccharide (a subcategory of carbohydrate) which has five carbon atoms is known as pentose.?
  • Ribose (C5H10O5) is a pentose that contains a five-carbon (5C) sugar.
  • Glucose (C6H12O6) is a simple, hexose sugar (6C) which is the most abundant monosaccharide in nature.
  • So glucose & ribose- both are monosaccharides.

Thus, the correct answer is option 3.
