Solution

The correct option is D A polysaccharide
Glycoproteins are proteins that contain oligosaccharide chains (carbohydrate or glycans) covalently attached to polypeptide side-chains. The carbohydrate is attached to the protein in a cotranslational or post translational modification. This process is known as glycosylation.
So, the correct answer is 'A polysaccharide'
