Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Raffinose

Step-by-step Solution

On hydrolysis stachyrose gives four, sucrose gives two raffinose gives three and ribose gives no molecule, of monosaccharides. Thus, only raffinose is a trisaccharide.
\(\mathrm{C}_{18} \mathrm{H}_{32} \mathrm{O}_{16}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \longrightarrow 3 \mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{12} \mathrm{O}_{6}\)
raffinose
