CORRECT Answer: Polysaccharides have many sugars; disaccharides have two sugars; monosaccharides have one sugar.

We can make this conclusion because the prefix 'poly-' in polysaccharide means many, the prefix 'di-' in disaccharide means two, and the prefix 'mono-' in monosaccharide means one.

Hope this helps! Have a great day!
