Correct answer: D

  1. Recall the structures and sources of the given carbohydrates

    • Amylose: linear polymer of glucose with α(1→4)\alpha(1\to 4)α(1→4) glycosidic linkage; found in plants (starch component).
    • Cellulose: linear polymer of glucose with β(1→4)\beta(1\to 4)β(1→4) glycosidic linkage; found in plants.
    • Glycogen: branched polymer of glucose with α(1→4)\alpha(1\to 4)α(1→4) main chain and α(1→6)\alpha(1\to 6)α(1→6) शाख branching; found in animals.
    • Amylopectin: branched polymer of glucose with α(1→4)\alpha(1\to 4)α(1→4) main chain and α(1→6)\alpha(1\to 6)α(1→6) branching; found in plants.
  2. Match each with List-II

    From List-II:

    • (I) β\betaβ-C1−C4C_1-C_4C1​−C4​, plant
    • (II) α\alphaα-C1−C4C_1-C_4C1​−C4​, animal
    • (III) α\alphaα-C1−C4C_1-C_4C1​−C4​, α\alphaα-C1−C6C_1-C_6C1​−C6​, plant
    • (IV) α\alphaα-C1−C4C_1-C_4C1​−C4​, plant

    Therefore,

    • (A) Amylose →\to→ (IV)
    • (B) Cellulose →\to→ (I)
    • (C) Glycogen should be α(1→4)\alpha(1\to4)α(1→4) and α(1→6)\alpha(1\to6)α(1→6), animal
    • (D) Amylopectin →\to→ (III)
  3. Check the options

    • Option D gives: (A)−(IV), (B)−(I), (C)−(II), (D)−(III)(A)-(IV),\ (B)-(I),\ (C)-(II),\ (D)-(III)(A)−(IV), (B)−(I), (C)−(II), (D)−(III)

    Here, (C)−(II)(C)-(II)(C)−(II) means glycogen is matched with α−C1−C4\alpha-C_1-C_4α−C1​−C4​, animal, but glycogen is actually branched with both α(1→4)\alpha(1\to4)α(1→4) and α(1→6)\alpha(1\to6)α(1→6) linkages.

  4. Interpretation of the given list

    Since List-II does not contain "α−C1−C4, α−C1−C6, animal{\alpha-C_1-C_4,\ \alpha-C_1-C_6,\ \text{animal}}α−C1​−C4​, α−C1​−C6​, animal", the intended school-level matching likely uses:

    • glycogen as the animal storage polysaccharide with predominant α(1→4)\alpha(1\to4)α(1→4) chain,
    • amylopectin as the plant branched polysaccharide with α(1→4)\alpha(1\to4)α(1→4) and α(1→6)\alpha(1\to6)α(1→6).

    Under the given options, the only feasible match is: (A)−(IV), (B)−(I), (C)−(II), (D)−(III)(A)-(IV),\ (B)-(I),\ (C)-(II),\ (D)-(III)(A)−(IV), (B)−(I), (C)−(II), (D)−(III) i.e. Option D.

  5. Final answer

    D\boxed{\text{D}}D​
