    The correct answer is D. Glucose plus galactose

    Explanation:

    Lactose is a disaccharide found in dairy. It is made up of monosaccharides: glucose and galactose. Its chemical structure its structure is of β-D-galactopyranosyl - (1 → 4) - D-glucopyranose; a bond occurs between carbon 1 of galactose and carbon 4 of glucose. The lactase enzyme produced by the small intestine (it is a β-galactosidase) decomposes the lactose in these two sugars.
