Detailed Solution

The reason that sucrose is a non-reducing sugar is that it has no free aldehyde or keto group. Sucrose is a disaccharide, which is composed of glucose and fructose. In sucrose, the components glucose and fructose are linked via an ether bond between C₁
on the glucosyl subunit and C₂on the fructosyl unit. The bond is called a glycosidic linkage. Hence, sucrose has 1 - 2 glycosidic linkage. So, Both A and R a true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
