Answer:

The correct answer will be option-C

Step-by-step explanation:

The polysaccharides are made up of the monomers of the monosaccharides attached to each other via a glycosidic bond.

The cellulose and starch are the two abundant carbohydrates present in the organism which differ from each other on the basis of their structure.

The cellulose is a linear structure whereas the starch contains two-component called amylose and amylopectin in which the amylose is a linear structure whereas the amylopectin is the branched structure with branches at every 25–30 units.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.
