Which of the following carbohydrates cannot be hydrolysed?

Explanation

Option A: Monosaccharides are the simplest form of carbohydrates and cannot be further hydrolyzed into smaller units. Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction that involves the addition of water to break down a compound into its smaller components. In the case of monosaccharides, they are already in their simplest form, so there are no smaller units to be hydrolyzed into. Option B: Oligosaccharides: Carbohydrates composed of a few sugar units, can be hydrolyzed into individual monosaccharides. Option C: Polysaccharides: Complex carbohydrates made up of many sugar units, can be hydrolyzed into constituent monosaccharides. Option D: Carbohydrates: A broad category of organic compounds including monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides, hydrolysis depends on specific structure.
