D Correct answer
Explanation

Di-saccharides are carbohydrates that are created when two monosaccharides are joined. The creation of a di-saccharide involves the union of two monosaccharides that undergo a process in which a water molecule is removed as part of the union. Like the two monosaccharides that combine to form the single di-saccharide, the carbohydrate is sweet to the taste and tends to dissolve in water with relative ease.
