I. Disaccharides on hydrolysis with dilute acid gives three molecules of same or different monosaccharides. II. Disaccharides are formed by the loss of water with an oxide linkage. III. The oxide linkage in the disaccharide is called glycosidic linkage. Choose the incorrect statement about disaccharide and select the most appropriate option.

A.Only I✓ Correct
B.Only II
C.Only III
D.Only II and III
Explanation

Disaccharides on hydrolysis with dilute acids or enzymes yield two molecules of either the same or different monosaccharides. The two monosaccharides are joined together by an oxide linkage formed by the loss of water molecule. Such a linkage between two monosaccharide units through oxygen atom is called glycosidic linkage.
