Answer:

The correct answer is C. Polysaccharides are much larger molecules.

Explanation:

Polysaccharides are made up of a long chain of sugar molecules called monosaccharides that are joined together by glycosidic bonds. They are classified as structural and storage polysaccharides.  

Polysaccharides are more difficult to digest than monosaccharides because they are very large and require to be broken in smaller forms of monosaccharides so that it can easily be absorbed by the body.

Therefore polysaccharides like glycogen and starch are broken down in small intestine by pancreatic amylase into monosaccharides like maltose and dextrins and then absorbed in the body through villi present in small intestine.
