Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Glucose is a 6-carbon cyclic ring (usually this is the dominant form in water rather than the acyclic form) that is the main source of energy for living organisms. Glucose monomers combine (C-4 forming a glycosidic bond with C-1 of the next monomer) to form polymer chains called polysaccharides such as cellulose and starch.
