Solution

The correct option is C Sucrose
Food is synthesized in plants in the form of hexose sugars, like glucose and fructose. Fruits are specially rich in fructose. Hence, fructose is also called as fruit sugar. Sugars are transported in the form of disaccharide sugar sucrose. Sugars are stored for long term as starch in either vegetative parts, like tubers or inside seed endosperm or cotyledons.
