What is the main reason that it takes 2 to 3 minutes for the reaction to occur between sucrose and sulfuric acid in the dehydration of sucrose?

The activation energy needs to be overcome in the reaction.
The activation energy must be removed from the intermediates.
The sulfuric acid has to be consumed before the reaction takes place.
The sucrose molecules must rearrange to become the catalyst.
