B. No they have different ratios and are different compounds.

Just like with table salt, NaCl, composed of 2 deadly elements, Sodium and Chlorine. When they are bonded they become something else. Same with acetone and glucose. Different bonds and ratios can completely change the compound.

I hope this helps!
