Polysaccharide
C
Trisaccharide
D

Detailed explanation-1: -The most common disaccharide is sucrose which gives D-(+)-glucose and D-(-)-fructose on hydrolysis. Both the monosaccharides i.e. glucose and fructose are connected through the glycosidic linkage between alpha glucose and second carbon beta fructose.

Detailed explanation-2: -disaccharide, also called double sugar, any substance that is composed of two molecules of simple sugars (monosaccharides) linked to each other. Disaccharides are crystalline water-soluble compounds.

Detailed explanation-3: -Maltose. Maltose, also known as malt sugar, is formed from two glucose molecules. Malt is formed when grains soften and grow in water, and it is a component of beer, starchy foods like cereal, pasta, and potatoes, and many sweetened processed foods. In plants, maltose is formed when starch is broken down for food.

Detailed explanation-4: -Examples of monosaccharides include glucose (dextrose), fructose (levulose), and galactose.
