  1. Which one of the following is also called as milk sugar ?
    1. Glucose
    2. Fructose
    3. Maltose
    4. Lactose
Correct Option: D

The main sugar found in milk is known as lactose, which is a natural sugar that is made up of glucose and galactose. It provides a mildly sweet taste to milk. It makes up around 2-8% of the solids in milk. Lactase, found in the small intestine, breaks down lactose into two simpler forms of sugar: glucose and galactose, which is then absorbed by the body.
