Answer is: D.) a disaccharide formed from glucose and fructose.
Sucrose or table sugar (C₁₂O₂₂O₁₁) composed of two monosaccharides. This monosaccharides glucose and fructose are linked with an ether bond between C1 on the glucosyl subunit and C2 on the fructosyl unit. 
Sucrose decomposes at 186°C and form caramel.
