Answer: (C)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Identify the molecular formula of the compound given, which is C\6H\12O\6. This tells us that each molecule contains 6 carbon atoms.
2. Understand that the number of moles of carbon atoms in the sample depends on the number of moles of the compound multiplied by the number of carbon atoms per molecule.
3. Set up the calculation using the formula: moles of carbon atoms = moles of C\6H\12O\6 \times number of carbon atoms per molecule.
4. Substitute the given values into the formula: moles of carbon atoms = 1.22 moles \times 6.
5. Perform the multiplication to find the total moles of carbon atoms present in 1.22 moles of C\6H\12O\6.
