C Correct answer
Explanation

Monosaccharides are simple sugars that cannot be hydrolyzed into simpler sugars. Deoxyribose (2), Fructose (3), and Galactose (4) are all monosaccharides. Cellulose (1) is a polysaccharide made of glucose units. Option C correctly identifies 2, 3, and 4 as monosaccharides.
