Sugars are categorized into monosaccharides or disaccharides.
Monosaccharides are made up of one single unit of sugar and thus cannot be hydrolyzed further into simpler compounds. Examples:- galactose, glucose, and fructose.
These are the building blocks of other carbohydrates like disaccharides and polysaccharides.
Disaccharides are made up of two monosaccharides linked by glycosidic linkage and will be again broken back down into the latter during digestion
Sucrose is the scientific name for table sugar and is a disaccharide.
So the correct answer is option D.
