Solution

The correct option is A Monosaccharide
Simple sugars are called monosaccharides, made up of single sugar molecules. Examples of these are glucose, fructose, and galactose. When two simple sugars are joined together by a chemical bond they are called disaccharides, the most common of which is sucrose or table sugar.

So, the correct option is 'Monosaccharides'.
