What type of glycosidic linkages are present in cellulose?

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Cellulose is a linear polysaccharide composed of D-glucose units connected by –1,4-glycosidic bonds, which contribute to its linear structure, robust hydrogen bonding, and resultant rigidity and insolubility.
Unlike cellulose, starch (amylose) features –1,4-glycosidic bonds, while amylopectin and glycogen incorporate –1,6-glycosidic linkages at branch points.
The correct identification is option B.
