Question:

Which of the following is known as milk sugar?

Options:

Sucrose 

Lactose 

Maltose 

Glucose 

Correct Answer:

Lactose 

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2. Lactose.

Lactose is sometimes referred to as “milk sugar” because it is only found naturally in the milk of mammals—including cows, goats and humans. Cheese and yogurt are made from milk from cows and goats, but not all milk products have the same proportion of lactose.
