Solution

The correct option is B Sucrose
The sugar present in the sugarcane is known as sucrose. It is a disaccharide which is formed by the glycosidic linkage of first carbon of the glucose and second carbon of the fructose. The molecular formula of sucrose is C12H22O11. On hydrolysis, the glycosidic linkage breaks and the sucrose is converted into simple sugars.
So, the correct answer is option B.
