For the 6-carbon molecule below, how would you expect it to break into two pieces?

a. two 3-carbon units

b. one 2-carbon unit and one 4-carbon unit

c. one 1-carbon unit, one 2-carbon unit, and one 3-carbon unit

d. one 1-carbon unit and one 5-carbon unit 
 
I'm having a hard time identifying the correct location of Beta and Alpha. If the carbonyl beta is the second bond over from carbonyl, then the breakage would occur at bond C3-C4. This would then result in two 3-carbon units, right? The molecule in the image looks like fructose which would result in two 3-carbon units.
