    Galactose

    Explanation:

    Milk sugar contains the disaccharide called lactose.

    A disaccharide is formed from the condensation of two monosaccharides.

    Lactose is formed from the condensation of glucose and galactose.

    Galactose rarely occurs freely in nature. It is freed when the enzyme lactase breaks down lactose during digestion.
