Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The chemical formula for maltose is C12H22O11. That means there are 22 carbon molecules, 22 hydrogen molecules, and 11 oxygen molecules. You can see that A is untrue because 22 is not equivalent to 11. Meanwhile, all other statements are true.

Hope this helps! :)
