Answer 1

The correct option is B Lactose

Lactose, also called milk sugar is mainly found in milk. It is a disaccharide formed by the β-1→4 glycosidic linkage between glucose and galactose. It can be broken to galactose and glucose by enzyme lactase. It has molecular formula of C${}_{12}$H${}_{22}$O${}_{11}$. Honey is rich in carbohydrates like glucose, maltose and fructose. Fructose is also known as levulose.

So, the correct answer is option B.
