Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (A) and (B) only
Sugars that do not undergo hydrolysis are monosaccharides, because they cannot be broken down into simpler sugars.
- (A) Glucose → monosaccharide → does not undergo hydrolysis
- (B) Fructose → monosaccharide → does not undergo hydrolysis
- (C) Cane sugar (sucrose) → disaccharide → undergoes hydrolysis
- (D) Lactose → disaccharide → undergoes hydrolysis
