Solution

The correct option is D Trisaccharide
Raffinose is a trisaccharide, composed of galactose, glucose and fructose. It can be found in beans, cabbage, brussels sprouts, broccoli, asparagus and whole grains. It can be hydrolyzed to D-galactose and sucrose by the enzyme galactosidase, an enzyme found in the human digestive tract.
So the correct answer is 'Trisaccharide'.
