D. It is laevorotatory and gives dextrorotatory glucose and laevorotatory fructose on hydrolysis

Answer

To determine the correct statement with respect to sucrose, we need to analyze each of the provided options based on the properties of sucrose and its hydrolysis products.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify the Chemical Structure of Sucrose**:
- Sucrose is a disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose. Its chemical formula is C12H22O11.

2. **Understand the Hydrolysis of Sucrose**:
- When sucrose undergoes hydrolysis in the presence of a dilute acid, it breaks down into one molecule of D-glucose and one molecule of D-fructose:
\[ \text{C}_{12}\text{H}_{22}\text{O}_{11} + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 (\text{glucose}) + \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 (\text{fructose}) \]

3. **Determine the Optical Activity**:
- Sucrose is known to be dextrorotatory, which means it rotates plane-polarized light to the right (clockwise). The specific rotation of sucrose is +66.5°.
- D-glucose is also dextrorotatory with a specific rotation of +52.5°.
- D-fructose, on the other hand, is levorotatory, meaning it rotates plane-polarized light to the left (counterclockwise), with a specific rotation of -92.4°.

4. **Analyze the Resulting Mixture**:
- Upon hydrolysis, the resulting mixture of D-glucose and D-fructose will have a net rotation that is determined by the specific rotations of both sugars.
- Since the specific rotation of fructose is more negative (higher absolute value) than that of glucose, the resulting mixture becomes levorotatory after hydrolysis.

5. **Evaluate Each Statement**:
- **Option 1**: "Sucrose is dextrorotatory and gives dextrorotatory glucose and levorotatory fructose on hydrolysis." - This statement is correct.
- **Option 2**: "Sucrose is levorotatory and gives levorotatory glucose and dextrorotatory fructose on hydrolysis." - This statement is incorrect.
- **Option 3**: "Sucrose is dextrorotatory and gives levorotatory glucose and dextrorotatory fructose." - This statement is incorrect.
- **Option 4**: "Sucrose is levorotatory and gives dextrorotatory glucose and levorotatory fructose on hydrolysis." - This statement is incorrect.

6. **Conclusion**:
- The correct statement regarding sucrose is **Option 1**.
