Given below are two statements. Statement I: Maltose has two $\displaystyle \alpha-\mathrm{D}$-glucose units linked at $\displaystyle \mathrm{C}_1$ and $\displaystyle \mathrm{C}_4$ and is a reducing sugar. Statement II: Maltose has two monosaccharides: $\displaystyle \alpha-\mathrm{D}-$ glucose and $\displaystyle \beta-\mathrm{D}$-glucose linked at $\displaystyle \mathrm{C}_1$ and $\displaystyle \mathrm{C}_6$ and it is a non-reducing sugar. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
