(A) Sucrose is a non-reducing sugar.
(B) Glucose is oxidised by bromine water.
(C) Glucose rotates plane polarized light in clockwise $ \, \, \, $direction.
(D) Fructose is oxidised by bromine water. Select the correct answer using the coded given below.

• A. (A), (B) and (C)
• B. (A), (B) only
• C. (B), (C) only
• D. (A), (D) only

Answer: (A)

Sucrose is a non-reducing sugar. Glucose is oxidised by $Br_2$ water to give gluconic acid. Glucose rotate plane polarised light in clockwise direction. Fructose is not oxidised by $Br_2$ water.
