Solution
The correct option is B Starch
Starch is a carbohydrate consisting of a large number of glucose units joined by glycosidic bonds. Starch is the major form of stored carbohydrate in plants. Starch is composed of a mixture of two substances: amylose, an essentially linear polysaccharide, and amylopectin, a highly branched polysaccharide. Both forms of starch are polymers of -D-Glucose. Amylopectin has short side chains of about 30 glucose units are attached with 16 linkages approximately every twenty to thirty glucose units along the chain. The process of breaking the glycosidic bonds, that hold the glucose basic units together to form a large cellulose molecule is called hydrolysis.
