Solution

The correct option is D Sucrose
Translocation is the process of movement of nutrients from leaves to other parts of plant. During the process of photosynthesis, carbohydrates (sugars) specifically sucrose is synthesized in the cytosol of cell and then translocated to other demanding parts of plant. Sucrose is complex, less reactive and energy efficient sugar so, angiosperms and other plants translocate sugar in the form of sucrose.
