Answer 1

The correct choice is (d) Fructose

The best I can explain: Fructose is a major component of cider apple juice ranging between 70 – 110 g/L. Glucose ranges between 15 – 30 g/L and sucrose being 20 – 45 g/L. Pectin is present in the lowest amount being 1 – 10 g/L among glucose, fructose, and sucrose.
