Which of the following sets of carbohydrates consists exclusively of disaccharides?

Step-by-step solution

Carbohydrates are classified based on their hydrolysis products. Monosaccharides cannot be hydrolysed further. Example: mannose. Disaccharides yield two monosaccharide units on hydrolysis. Examples: maltose, sucrose, and lactose. Polysaccharides yield a large number of monosaccharide units on hydrolysis. Examples: starch and cellulose. Evaluating the given options: Option (A) contains cellulose, which is a polysaccharide. Option (B) contains mannose, which is a monosaccharide. Option (C) contains maltose, sucrose,
