Easy

A

amylopectin has 1 $\to$ 4 $α$ -linkage and 1 $\to$ 6 $α$ -linkage
B

amylose has 1 $\to$ 4 $α$ -linkage and 1 $\to$ 6 $β$ -linkage
C

amylopectin has 1 $\to$ 4 $α$ -linkage and 1 $\to$ 6 $β$ -linkage
D

amylose is made up of glucose and galactose.

Solution

Amylose is a linear polymer of $α$ D-glucose units held by $C_{1} - C_{4}$ glycosidic linkage ;
Amylopectin is branched chain polymer of $α$ D-glucose units in which chain is held by $C_{1} - C_{4}$ glycosidic linkage
Branching in amylopectin occurs by $C_{1} - C_{6}$ glycosidic linkage between different strands;.
