Solution

The correct option is A Sucrose into glucose and fructose
Invertase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis (breakdown) of sucrose (table sugar) into fructose and glucose. The resulting mixture of fructose and glucose is called inverted sugar syrup. Related to invertases are sucrases.
Thus the correct option is A.
