Solution

The correct option is C two molecules of the same or one molecule each of two different monosaccharides
A disaccharide on hydrolysis gives two molecules of the same or one molecule each of two different monosaccharides since a disaccharide is defined as the sugar formed by the glycosidic linkage of 2 monosaccharides. Consider, for example, maltose. It hydrolyses to give 2 molecules of glucose.
