Vedclass · Answer

(B) sugar is non-reducing if it does not have a free hemiacetal or hemiketal group at the anomeric carbon. In option $B$,the anomeric carbon is involved in a glycosidic linkage (as a methyl glycoside),meaning it lacks a free $-OH$ group at the anomeric position,making it a non-reducing sugar. Options $A$,$C$,and $D$ possess a free $-OH$ group at the anomeric carbon,making them reducing sugars.
