Given below are two statements:
Statement I - During digestion, the disaccharides are broken down in the large intestine.
Statement II - Disaccharides are insoluble in water.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Statement I is incorrect because the digestion of disaccharides occurs in the small intestine, not the large intestine. Enzymes such as maltase, lactase, and sucrase present in the intestinal juice break down disaccharides into monosaccharides in the small intestine.

Statement II is incorrect because disaccharides (such as sucrose, lactose, and maltose) are highly soluble in water. This is due to the presence of multiple hydroxyl ($-OH$) groups in their structure, which readily form hydrogen bonds with water molecules.

Therefore, both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.

Answer: Both statement I and statement II are incorrect
