The correct answer is Option C) $%5Calpha-D-Glucose%20%2B%20%5Cbeta%20-D-Fructose$

Sucrose is a disaccharide made up of two monosaccharides, namely, glucose and fructose. Sucrose is naturally produced in plants and is refined to form edible table sugar. The molecular formula of sucrose is C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁.

The two monosaccharides in sucrose are held together by glycosidic linkage. Upon hydrolysis, this glycosidic linkage is broken to yield two molecules of $%5Calpha$ - D - glucose and $%5Cbeta$ - D - fructose. The reaction can be written as:

$C_%7B12%7DH_%7B22%7DO_%7B11%7D%2BH_%7B2%7DO%20%5Cto%5Cunderset%7B%5Ctext%7BD(%2B)Glucose%7D%7D%7B%7BC_%7B6%7DH_%7B12%7DO_%7B6%7D%7D%7D%2B%5Cunderset%7B%5Ctext%7BD(-)fructose%7D%7D%7B%7BC_%7B6%7DH_%7B12%7DO_%7B6%7D%7D%7D$
