Correct Option (b) Sugars

Explanation:

Molisch's test is used for the detection of carbohydrates. Add two drops of alcoholic solution of α-naphthol to the carbohydrate solution under study.

Add conc. H2SO4 slowly by the side of the test tube. A violet ring is formed at the junction of the two liquids, if carbohydrate is present.
