Solution

The correct option is A Ether
The bond formed between two monosaccharides is called a glycosidic bond. It is normally formed between the carbon-1 of one monosaccharide and carbon-4 of the other monosaccharide. The formation of glycosidic bond involves the condensation of water molecules. In a disaccharide, the two monosaccharide units are joined by an ether linkage.
So, the correct answer is option A.
