(A) Glucose gives a silver mirror test (Tollens' test) with ammoniacal silver nitrate because of the presence of the $-CHO$ group (aldehyde group) in its open-chain structure.The reaction is as follows:$CH_2OH(CHOH)_4CHO + Ag_2O \rightarrow CH_2OH(CHOH)_4COOH + 2Ag \downarrow$ (silver mirror)Here,the aldehyde group is oxidized to a carboxylic acid group,and silver ions are reduced to metallic silver,forming the silver mirror.
