A dehydration reaction links two glucose molecules to produce maltose. If the formula for glucose is \( \mathrm{C}_6\mathrm{H}_{12}\mathrm{O}_6 \) then what is the formula for maltose?

1. A
   \( \mathrm{C}_{12}\mathrm{H}_{22}\mathrm{O}_{11} \)
2. B
   \( \mathrm{C}_{12}\mathrm{H}_{24}\mathrm{O}_{11} \)
3. C
   \( \mathrm{C}_{12}\mathrm{H}_{20}\mathrm{O}_{10} \)
4. D
   \( \mathrm{C}_{12}\mathrm{H}_{24}\mathrm{O}_{12} \)
