Solution
The correct option is B Glycosidic bonds
Polysaccharides are carbohydrates formed from multiple units of monosaccharide joined together by glycosidic bonds.
Glycosidic bonds are the covalent bonds linking monosaccharide sugars to some other compound.
In polysaccharide, glycosidic bonds are the covalent linkage between two monosaccharide residues formed by a dehydration reaction in which one carbon, usually the carbon-1 of one sugar reacts with a hydroxyl group on a second sugar with the loss of a water molecule. Hence, the correct option is A
