Solution

The correct option is B

(i) Homopolymer (ii) Heteropolymer


Polysaccharides can be homopolymers (contain only one sugar residue) like Cellulose (glucose in beta 1-4 linkages) or heteropolymers (contain more than one sugar residue) like Hemicellulose which contain xylose, mannose, galactose, rhamnose, and arabinose; which are different monomers of sugar.
