Answer 1

Disaccharide in in our body is a sugar that is Specifically formed in our human body when two of the monosaccharides are joined together by the glycosidic linkage between them . Like monosaccharides the , disaccharides are also soluble in the water

sucrose, lactose, and maltose are the major disaccharides in our body so it is the correct answer as they have 2 monosaccride.so option d is the correct answer

Option a is wrong answer as fructose is a monosaccride

Option b is wrong as fructose is a monosaccride

Option c is wrong as Glucose is a monosaccride
