Complete hydrolysis of cellulose gives

1. D-ribose
2. D-glucose
3. L-glucose
4. D-fructose

Correct answer: D-glucose

Solution

Cellulose is a polysaccharide made up of long chains of D-glucose units linked by β-1,4-glycosidic bonds. When cellulose undergoes complete hydrolysis, these bonds are broken, resulting in the release of individual D-glucose molecules.
