b) DNA: DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is a nucleic acid, not a carbohydrate. It is the molecule that carries genetic instructions in all living organisms and many viruses.

c) Insulin: Insulin is a protein hormone, not a carbohydrate. It is produced by the pancreas and plays a crucial role in regulating blood glucose levels.

d) Sucrose: Sucrose is a carbohydrate. It is a disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose and is commonly known as table sugar.

Summary: Sucrose is the only option that is a carbohydrate, as it is a sugar composed of glucose and fructose.
