Solution

The correct option is A Glycoprotein
Glycoproteins are proteins which contain oligosaccharides chains covalently attached to amino and side chains. The carbohydrate is attached to the protein in a cotranslational or posttranslational modification. This process is known as glycosylation.
So, option A is the correct option.
