Answer: 12 carbon atoms

Step-by-step explanation:

Atom is the smallest unit of matter which may or may not have independent existence. Example:
N

Molecule is the smallest unit of matter which has a independent existence.Example:
N_2

1 molecule of
C_6H_(12)O_6 has 6 atoms of carbon

Thus if 1 molecule of
C_6H_(12)O_6 has carbon atoms = 3

4 molecules of
C_6H_(12)O_6 has total of =
(3)/(1)* 4=12atoms

Thus there are 12 carbon atoms in four molecules of glucose.
