Sucralose is a derivative of which substance?

  1. Glucose

  2. Fructose

  3. Sucrose

  4. Lactose

The correct answer is: Sucrose

Sucralose is a zero-calorie artificial sweetener that is derived from sucrose, also known as table sugar. Glucose and fructose are also types of sugar but do not play a role in the composition of sucralose. Lactose, on the other hand, is a sugar found in dairy products and is not related to the production of sucralose. Therefore, options A, B, and D are incorrect.
