Solution

The correct option is C Inulin
Inulin is a heterogeneous collection of the fructose polymer. It consists of 2->1 linked beta-d-fructosyl residues (n = 2–60), usually with an (1->2) alpha-d-glucose end group i.e. it consists of chain-terminating glucosyl moieties and a repetitive fructosyl moiety. Hence, the correct answer is option C.
