D-Allose and D-altrose are kept in two unlabeled bottles A and B. To identify them, both of these are treated with nitric acid. The component of bottle A gives an optically inactive aldaric acid, while the component of bottle B gives an optically active aldaric acid. Identify which bottle contains D-allose and which one contains D-altrose.
