carbohydrates have the general formla on C_nH_2nO_n, as the molecule above does. Therefore it's probably a polysaccaride.

B) NaCl doesn't represent a molecule. The sodium atom is a metal, and has a positive charge. The chlorine atom is a nonmetal, and has a negative charge. An ionic compound is formed by the union of a metal and a nonmetal. The other three choices were formed by two nonmetals, which create molecules.

CARBOHYDRATE. Do you know what you know? BTW, it cannot be a polysaccharide - too much oxygen/carbon to allow for dehydrative condensation. Compare glucose to trehalose.
