Solution

The correct option is D ester bond
A simple lipid is an ester of fatty acid with an alcohol, which in most cases is glycerol. An ester bond is formed when two groups are linked together by an oxygen atom.

A glycosidic bond is formed between two sugar units in a disaccharide, oligosaccharide or a polysaccharide chain.

A peptide bond is formed between two amino acids in a polypeptide chain.

A hydrogen bond is formed between the nitrogenous bases in a double-helical nucleic acid chain.
