Solution

The correct option is B Maltose
Two units of glucose (a monosaccharide) molecules linked by a glycosidic bond forms maltose. Thus maltose is a disaccharide of two glucose molecules.

Ribose is a five carbon atom monosaccharide and cellulose is a polysaccharide, which is formed by several units of glucose molecules.
