Correct options are b and d.
Sucrose is a common disaccharide that breaks down into an equimolar mixture of D- (+)- glucose and D- (-)- fructose when hydrolyzed. These two monosaccharides are held together by a glycosidic bond between C1 of α - glucose and C2 of β fructose. Because the reducing groups of glucose and fructose are involved in the formation of glycosidic linkages, sucrose is a non-reducing sugar.
