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.
