Solution

The correct option is B A disaccharide of maltose is formed through the process of dehydration synthesis.
When two glucose molecules bind, a glycosidic bond is formed with the loss of one water molecule and a disaccharide of maltose is formed. Since there is loss of a water molecule, hence it is a dehydration reaction. The reaction is shown in the figure.
So, the correct answer is 'A disaccharide of maltose is formed through the process of dehydration synthesis.'.
