    The correct option is C.

    Explanation:

    Carbohydrates are one of the macro molecules that are consumed by living organisms. The end product of carbohydrate is glucose. Glucose is a very important fuel that the body cells used to produce energy, which they use to carry out their daily activities. Glucose is also known as blood sugar and it is the only fuel that living cells can use for the production of ATP. Other food macro molecules such as lipids and proteins can also be converted to glucose if there is a need for that. Glucose is always stored in the body in form of glycogen.

    The statement given in option C about glucose is wrong because glucose is a monosaccharide and not a disaccharide.
