Solution

The correct option is C Sugarcane
In sugar, glucose and fructose are bound together to form sucrose, which comes from sugar beets or sugar cane and is more commonly known as table sugar. In honey, fructose and glucose are primarily independent of each other. Sucrose is found in almost all plants, but it occurs at concentrations high enough only in sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) and sugar beets (Beta vulgaris).
