Answer 1

Firstly we have to enlist the given properties of the artificial sweeteners so that we would be able to get the categorization among the natural and the artificial ones as one or more among the ones would be the correct answers. Apart from this we also know that the artificial sweeteners are so intensely sweet that dextrose or maltodextrin, or both, must be added to dilute their intense sweetness in order to imitate the sweetness of a sugar.

Complete step by step answer:
In order to answer this question we have to go through each option and then enlist them as artificial or natural ones so that we would be able to pic between them as one or many one would be the answer we ought to get as the correct one in this case. (As the option is multiple choice).
Now we just get through each option precisely:
Sucralose : It is an artificially made sweetener
Saccharin : It is an artificially made sweetener.
Neotame : It is an artificially made sweetener.
Aspartame : It is an artificially made sweetener.
So we can say that all of the given compounds are artificial sweeteners.
Hence options A,B,C and D all are correct options.

Note:
Artificial sweeteners are used in one of two ways. They may be used directly in commercially processed foods, or they are mixed with one or more starch-based sweeteners before sale to consumers. Artificial sweeteners are so intensely sweet that dextrose or maltodextrin, or both, must be added to dilute their intense sweetness in order to imitate the sweetness of a sugar.
