Answer:

A. a five-membered cyclic hemiacetal.

Explanation:

Fructose is a hexose sugar with a ketone group unlike glucose which has an aldehyde group.

The fructose also forms a cyclic structure due to formation of hemiacetal bond however unlike glucose the cyclic structure formed is a five membered ring.

The hemiacetal bond is formed when an alcohol reacts with a carbonyl group.

The structure of fructose is shown in the figure.
