Solution

The correct option is A Glucose; polysaccharide
A monosaccharide or simple sugar is a carbohydrate that cannot be hydrolyzed into smaller carbohydrates. Like all carbohydrates, a monosaccharide consists of three chemical elements: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. It is the simplest type of carbohydrate molecule and often serves as the basis for forming more complex molecules.Monosaccharides include aldoses, ketoses, and their derivatives. The general chemical formula for a monosaccharide is CnH2nOn or (CH2O)n. Example of monosaccharides includes glucose (dextrose).
So,the correct option is 'A'.
