Options
A Peptide
B Esterific
C Glycosidic
Correct Answer
D Monomorphic
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

A glycosidic bond is a covalent bond formed between two monosaccharides (simple sugars) to create a disaccharide or polysaccharide. Peptide bonds link amino acids, and ester bonds link fatty acids to glycerol in lipids.

Hint

Think 'glucose' and 'bond' – it's the bond that joins sugars.
