Solution

The correct option is C α 1, 4
Sugars are formed by the attachment of the small monomeric units to one another by covalent glycosidic bonds to form the larger molecules. Glycosidic bonds form by reaction between the carbon atom of one sugar and the hydroxyl group of another sugar. Maltose is a reducing sugar and has α-1, 4 glycosidic linkages between two glucose molecule.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
