CSoluble in $$H_2O$$ and have $$\alpha -1, 6$$ glycosidic bond
DSoluble in $$H_2O$$, and have $$\alpha -1, 4$$, glycosidic bond

Solution


Amylopectin is a branched-chain polysaccharide composed of glucose units linked primarily by α-1,4-glycosidic bonds but with occasional α-1,6-glycosidic bonds, which are responsible for the branching. It is one of the two components of starch, the other being amylose.
