Solution
The correct option is B Glycoside
In polysaccharides, the linkage connecting monosaccharides is called glycoside (glycosidic linkage).
Glycosidic linkage is the covalent bond between two or more monosaccharides to form a polysaccharide. It is formed between the hemiacetal or hemiketal group of a saccharide (or a molecule derived from a saccharide) and the hydroxyl group of some compound such as alcohol. A substance containing a glycosidic bond is a glycoside.
