Given below are two statements: Statement I: Sucrose is dextrorotatory. However sucrose upon hydrolysis gives a solution having mixture of products. This solution shows laevorotation. Statement II: Hydrolysis of sucrose gives glucose and fructose. Since the laevorotation of glucose is more than the dextrorotation of fructose the resulting solution becomes laevorotatory. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Core Logic

Matching the reactions of glucose: (A) Glucose does not react with NaHCO₃$NaHCO_3$, so there is no reaction. (A arrow$\rightarrow$ II) (B) Oxidation of glucose with strong oxidizing agents like HNO₃$HNO_3$ yields a dicarboxylic acid called saccharic acid. (B arrow$\rightarrow$ IV) (C) Prolonged heating of glucose with HI$HI$ forms n-hexane, indicating a straight chain of six carbon atoms. (C arrow$\rightarrow$ III) (D) Oxidation with mild agents like bromine water converts glucose to gluconic acid. (D arrow$\rightarrow$ I)
