Solution

The correct option is B Brain sugar
Galactose is known as the brain sugar. It supports the brain development of infants. The monosaccharide sugar helps trigger long-term memory formation. Galactose also has been shown to inhibit tumor growth and stop its spread, or metastasis, particularly to the liver. This beneficial sugar can also enhance wound healing, decrease inflammation, enhances cellular communication, and increases calcium absorption. An enough amount of galactose can also help to protect against exposure to X-ray radiation, and developing cataracts.
