B Correct answer
Explanation

The conjugated proteins are simple globular proteins linked to non-protein substances called prothetic group, e.g., Glyco-proteins or Muco-proteins are proteins bound to carbohydrate groups. Glyco-proteins contain less carbohydrate (4%) when compared to mucoproteins,e.g., egg albumin and mucin of saliva.
