Verified step by step guidance

Understand the question: The problem is asking for the suffix commonly found at the end of the names of most sugars (carbohydrates). This requires knowledge of carbohydrate nomenclature.

Recall the basic concept: Sugars, which are carbohydrates, are often named with the suffix '-ose'. This is a standard convention in biochemistry for naming monosaccharides and disaccharides (e.g., glucose, fructose, sucrose).

Eliminate incorrect options: '-one' is typically used for ketones, '-ine' is used for amino acids or alkaloids, and '-ase' is used for enzymes. These do not apply to sugars.

Confirm the correct suffix: The suffix '-ose' is specific to sugars and carbohydrates, making it the correct answer.

Apply this knowledge: Whenever you encounter a biochemical name ending in '-ose', you can identify it as a sugar or carbohydrate.
