The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Concept: Disaccharides are carbohydrates formed by the condensation of two monosaccharide units. The three common disaccharides are:
Sucrose (cane sugar) → glucose + fructose
Maltose (malt sugar) → glucose + glucose
Lactose (milk sugar) → glucose + galactose

Step 1:
Identify A, B, and C based on typical order. Based on the common order in which they are taught: \[ A = \text{Sucrose},\quad B = \text{Maltose},\quad C = \text{Lactose} \]

Step 2:
Match with options. This corresponds to option (B).
