A
I and II only
B
I and III only
C
II and III only
D
I, II and III
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A condensation reaction between two monosaccharides forms a glycosidic bond. Disaccharides are formed by the condensation of two monosaccharides: maltose is a disaccharide formed by condensation of two glucose molecules. sucrose is a disaccharide formed by condensation of a glucose molecule and a fructose molecule.

Detailed explanation-2: -Simple sugar molecules (monosacchirides) can be combined to form larger sugar molecules called disaccharides or even polysacchirides. This reaction in which the simple sugars combine to form larger ones is known as condensation. Its called condensation between a water molecule is generated in the process.

Detailed explanation-3: -When 2 glucose molecules link up, this sugar is known as maltose. It is a disaccharide (2 sugars). When many glucose molecules link together in a long chain, molecules called polysaccharides (many sugars) are formed. The link formed between each molecule is known as a glycosidic bond.

Detailed explanation-4: -Disaccharides are formed by the condensation reactions of two simple sugar molecules. Condensation is the loss of water in a chemical reaction. Two OH groups, one from each sugar molecule, come together to release water and form an oxygen bridge between.
