Answer 2

Dear Student,

◆ Answer - (C)

Two monosaccharides are joined together in disaccharide by glycosidic bond.

● Explanation -

• A glycosidic bond is a covalent bond that joins a carbohydrate molecule to another carbohydrate / other group.
• Disaccharides are produced by dehydration synthesis of two monosaccharides to form glycosidic bond between them.
• For example,

Glucose + fructose -> sucrose (alpha-1,4-glycosidic bond).

Thanks dear. Hope this helps you...
