A large molecule composed of several equal subunits is called a polymer, while each unit is called a monomer. An example is glucose. Glucose can form bonds with other glucose molecules to form large molecules such as cellulose.

In this case, the monomer would be glucose and the polymer would be cellulose. Therefore, the answer is B polymer.
