(D) The sugar,a carbohydrate such as $C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}$,is mixed with concentrated sulfuric acid,$H_2SO_4$. The sulfuric acid acts as a strong dehydrating agent and removes water molecules from the carbohydrate,leaving behind elemental carbon. The reaction is: $C_{12}H_{22}O_{11} \xrightarrow{H_2SO_4} 12C + 11H_2O$. This process turns the sugar black due to the formation of carbon.
