Solution

The correct option is A $(C_{6} H_{10} O_{5})_{n}$
Starch is a polysaccharide consisting of glucose monomers that are joined by α-1,4 glycosidic linkages. Starch is made up of two components which are amylose (linear) and amylopectin (branched). The chemical formula of starch is (C $_{6}$ H $_{10}$ O $_{5}$ )n.
So, the correct answer is '(C $_{6}$ H $_{10}$ O $_{5}$ )n'.
