Answer:

The incorrect statement is option B and D.

Explanation:

Carbohydrates are more generally is known as the sugars that are composed of the carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Monosaccharides are the single unit of carbohydrates while disaccharides are the sugars that contain two molecules of the sugar and similarly saccharides with multiple sugars are called polysaccharides. The general chemical formula of the carbohydrates Cn(H2O)n, however the complex sugars does not follow this formula. Amino sugars are contains NH2 in their formula so carbohydrates not necessarily contains only H, O, AND C always.

Thus, the incorrect answer is - option B and D.
