Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
On hydrolysis with dilute acids or enzyme, starch break down to molecules of varible complexity `(n gt n')`, maltose and finally to `D - (+)`- glucose:
`(C_(6) H_(10)O_(5))_(n) rarr (C_(6) H_(10) O_(5))_(n)' rarr underset("maltose")(C_(12)H_(22)O_(11)) rarr underset(D -(+) -"Glucose")(C_(6)H_(12) O_(6))`
