B Correct answer
Explanation

It is a type of condensation reaction, in which, monomers join together into polymers, while losing water molecules. This process is carried out, by losing from one of the monomers and (H) from another monomer. The two unstable monomers join together, and they combine forming water. When small organic sugar molecules are chemically joined, a water molecule must be removed.
