These are all properties of a disaccharide EXCEPT:
A
made up of two sugars
B
sucrose
C
2 monosaccharides joined by dehydration synthesis
D
ratio of 1:2:1
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -All disaccharides share the following properties; They are polar compounds. They are readily soluble in water due to hydrogen bonding. They have sweet taste.

Detailed explanation-2: -Characteristics of Disaccharides Similar to other carbohydrates, disaccharides are comprised of hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen, and the ratio of hydrogen atoms to oxygen atoms is often 2:1, which explains why they are referred to as hydrates of carbon. The general chemical formula of disaccharides is C12H22O11.

Detailed explanation-3: -Monosaccharides have carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a 1:2:1 ratio. Monosaccharides or simple sugars include glucose, galactose, and fructose. Although their chemical formulas are the same, they have different structural formulas.
