Solution

The correct option is B Sucrose
The sugar is synthesized as glucose and stored as starch in the plants. Flowering plants translocate the carbohydrate in the form of sucrose because sucrose is more energy efficient in storage and transferring. It is less reactive than glucose and water soluble which helps in the transportation through the sieve tubes of phloem.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
