Answer:

The correct answer is b types of glycosidic bond between the monomers.

Explanation:

HomoPolysaccharides differ from each other by the presence of different glycosidic linkage within their chemical structure.

For example

1 Starch contain glucose residues which are linked by alpha-1,4-glycosidic linkage.

2 In glycogen molecule the glucose residues are linked together by both alpha-1,4-glycosidic linkage and alpha-1,6- glycosidic linkage.

3 In cellulose the glucose monomers are linked together by beta-1,4-glycosidic linkage.
