What type of bond is formed between two monosaccharides?
A
Ester bond
B
Glycosidic bond
C
Peptide bond
D
Double bond
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Disaccharides. Disaccharides are composed of two monosaccharide units linked together by a glycosidic bond. The most common glycosidic bonds connecting monosaccharide units are O-glycosidic bonds in which the oxygen from a hydroxyl group becomes linked to the carbonyl carbon.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glycosidic bond is a condensation reaction between two sugar units, where the H-group from one sugar interacts with the-OH group on another to release water and link the sugar units together to form a polysaccharide.
