Right answer is (b) hard candy

Explanation: High maltose syrups are those which do not tend to even below 0˚C and relatively non-hygroscopic. These are produced by α-amylase alone. Their composition is 45-60% (w/w) maltose, 2 – 7% (w/w) glucose. Their Dextrose equivalent is 40-50 DE. These are used in the production hard candy and frozen desserts. Soft candy, soft drinks and brewery are produced by high conversion syrups.
