Solution

The correct option is D Cellulose
All monosaccharides, disaccharides and oligosacchrides are sugar(sweet in taste) but polysacchararides are not sugar because they are not sweet in taste. Glucose, fructose are monosaccharides and lactose is a disachharide. Cellulose, being a polysachharide, is a non-sugar that is tasteless, water insoluble and amorphous.
Hence, (d) is correct.
