Solution

The correct option is A Glucose and fructose
Sucrose is formed by the glycosidic linkage between glucose and fructose. The bond is formed between the between C $_{1}$ on the glucosyl subunit and C $_{2}$ on the fructosyl unit. It has no free aldehyde or keto group so they are known as non- reducing sugar. The anomeric carbon of glucose and fructose forms the glycosidic bonds.
So, the correct answer is option A.
