The correct option is B
Glycosidic bond

In a polysaccharide, two glucose units are joined by a glycosidic bond. This bond is formed by the process of dehydration.

An ester bond is present in a nucleotide between a phosphate and a pentose sugar molecule.

Peptide bonds are present between successive amino acids in a protein molecule.

Hydrogen bonds are present between nucleotides on the opposite strands of a DNA molecule.
