Answer: 3. \(\alpha\)-D-Glucose + \(\beta\)-D-Fructose

Sucrose is made of \(\alpha\)-D-glucose and \(\beta\)-D-fructose joined through C1 of glucose and C2 of fructose (a glycosidic bond between both reducing ends).

Hydrolysis (with dilute acid or invertase) gives \(\alpha\)-D-glucose + \(\beta\)-D-fructose, option (3).
