Solution
The correct option is A Sucralose Sucrose is common sugar. Glucose is a simple sugar. Glucose is mainly made by plants and most algae during photosynthesis from water and carbon dioxide, using energy from sunlight.
Aspartame is unstable at cooking temperature and hence, it is used in cold drinks and soft drinks. Sucralose is a trichloro derivative of sucrose which is stable at cooking temperature and does not provide calories. Hence, option D is the right answer.
