The chemical formula that represents a disaccharide is  [tex]C_{12}H_{24}O_{12}[/tex]. The correct option is D.

What is a disaccharide?

A disaccharide is a simple sugar that consists of 2 units of monosaccharides. The 2 monosaccharides are joined together by a glycosidic linkage.

The simplest monosaccharides have the chemical formula [tex]C_6H_{12}O_6[/tex]. Examples of these monosaccharides include glucose, fructose, and galactose.

This means that the ratio of C to H to O in monosaccharides is 1:2:1.

A disaccharide will have 2 units of monosaccharides. This means that the ratio of C to H to O would remain 1:2:1. The only chemical formula that fulfills this criterium is  [tex]C_{12}H_{24}O_{12}[/tex].
