    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.
