{'fruits': [2, 0, 0, 0], 'maltose': [0, 1, 0, 1], 'lactose': [3, 0, 0, 1], 'fructose': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'sweet taste': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'ribose': [1, 0, 0, 0]}

The sweet taste of fruits is due to fructose. Fructose is a type of sugar that is naturally found in many fruits, as well as in honey and some vegetables. It is a simple sugar that has a sweet taste and is easily metabolized by the body. Lactose, on the other hand, is a sugar found in milk and dairy products. Maltose is a sugar composed of two glucose molecules and is not responsible for the sweet taste of fruits. Ribose is a sugar that is found in RNA and is not related to the taste of fruits. Therefore, option 2, fructose, is the correct answer as it is the sugar responsible for the sweet taste of fruits.
