Best answer
Right choice is (a) Sucrose

The best I can explain: Sucrose is utilized first and the hydrolysis causes an increase in the concentration of fructose. Fructose and Glucose are taken up more or less simultaneously and is disappeared from wort within 24 hours. After glucose, maltose is assimilated and at last, after maltose, maltotriose is utilized.
