The polysaccharides made up of glucose monomers are

Asucrose, lactose, maltose
Bchitin, glycogen, starch
Cstarch, glycogen, cellulose
Correct Answer
Dstarch, inulin, peptidoglycan

Solution

Polysaccharides are the carbohydrate that has more than two units of monosaccharide linked together by glycosidic bonds. Starch is a polysaccharide of glucose in which the bonds are 1-4 glycosidic bonds. It is the energy storing compound of the plant and it has a linear chain which has Alpha 1-4 linkage and branched chain which is alpha 1-6 linkage.
Glycogen is a branched polymer of glucose and contains around 30,000 units of glucose it is also known as animal starch because it is a storage product in animals. In glycogen, glucose molecules are linked by 1-4 glycosidic linkage and straight line and 1-6 linkage branched part.
Cellulose is an important constituent of the cell wall which is made up of an unbranched chain of 6000 beta D glucose generate links by 1-4 glycosidic linkage.

So, the correct option is 'starch, glycogen, cellulose'
