Answer:The correct answer is option d.

Step-by-step explanation:

Molarity of the solution = 2.5 M =2.5 mol/L

Number of moles of glucose = n

Molarity is defined as ratio of moles of solute to the volume of the solutions in liters.

$Molarity=\frac{\text{Moles of}C_(6)H_(12)O_6}{\tex{Volume of the solution(L)}}$

2.5 mol/L=(n)/(5.0L)

n=12.5 moles

The closest option to our answer is option d.

Hence,correct answer is option d.
