Explanation

Correct answer. Amylose is a helical polymer that is made of α-D-glucose units linked through α(1→4) glycosidic bonds. Dextrins are a group of low-molecular-weight carbohydrates that have D-glucose units linked by α-(1→4) or α-(1→6) glycosidic linkage. Cyclodextrin is a sugar molecule bound together in a ring made up of α-D-glucopyranoside units linked by 1→4 linkage.
