Detailed Solution

Amylopectin is a water-soluble polysaccharide and highly branched polymer of α-glucose units found in plants.

Glycogen is a multibranched polysaccharide of glucose that serves as a form of energy storage in animals, fungi, and bacteria.

Amylose is a polysaccharide made of α-D-glucose units, bonded to each other through α(1→4) glycosidic bonds which is a linear polymer.

It consists of two types of molecules. the linear and helical amylose and the branched amylopectin. Hence, it is a branched polymer.

Hence, option D is correct.
