Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`underset("Cellulose")(C_(6)H_(10)O_(5))n+nH_(2)O overset(H^(+))(rarr) underset("D-glucose")(nC_(6)H_(12)O_(6))`
Cellulose is a straight chain polysaccharide composed of D-glucose units which are joined by `beta-` glucosideic linkages. Hence cellulose on hydrolysis produces only D-glucoser units.
