Sucrose and maltose

B

Maltose and lactose

C

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
In maltose, free aldehyde group can be produced at C-1 of second glucose in solution and It shows reducing properties so it is a reducing sugar.
Lactose is composed of `beta`-D-galactose and `beta`-D-glucose. The linkage is between C-1 of galactose and C-4 of glucose. Hence, it is also a reducing sugar.
