Answer: The correct is- B) Sucrose.

Carboydrate is one of the four major biomolecules that is composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. The ratio of hydrogen and oxygen atom is 2:1. Simple carbohydrate is also called sugar.

Sucrose is a disaccharide ( made up of two simple sugar units) as it is made up of glucose and fructose.

Therefore, sucrose is a carbohydrate molecule.
