Both assertion and reason are wrong statements.
Assertion is correct statement and reason is wrong statement.
Assertion is wrong statement and reason is correct statement.
Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason does not explain assertion.

Solution
Assertion is correct statement and reason is wrong. statement.
Explanation:
Glucose is correctly named as D(+)-glucose. ‘D’ before the name of glucose represents the configuration whereas ‘(+)’ represents dextrorotatory nature of the molecule. The letters ‘D’ or ‘L’ before the name of any compound indicate the relative configuration of a particular stereoisomer.
