(D) The Benedict's test is used to detect the presence of reducing sugars.Reducing sugars contain a free aldehyde or ketone group that can act as a reducing agent.Glucose,maltose,and fructose are all reducing sugars because they possess a free anomeric carbon.Sucrose is a non-reducing sugar because its anomeric carbons are involved in the glycosidic bond between glucose and fructose,leaving no free aldehyde or ketone group available to reduce the Benedict's reagent.Therefore,sucrose does not give a positive Benedict's test.
