Solution

The correct option is C Glycosidic bond
  • A glycosidic bond is a covalent bond. It joins a carbohydrate (sugar) molecule to another group, which may or may not be another carbohydrate.
  • It is mainly formed between the hemiacetal or hemiketal of the sugar and hydroxyl of the another molecule.
  • Thus, the correct answer is an option C.
