The synthesis of monosaccharides would produce
A
nucleotide
B
fatty acid chain
C
polypeptide
D
polysaccharide
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Polysaccaride Synthesis One modern method for the synthesis of polysaccharides is called the glycal assembly method. A glycal is a sugar which has been dehydrated to form a double bond. Glycals are typically prepared from the corresponding monosaccharide.

Detailed explanation-2: -Monosaccharides are the simplest form of carbohydrates and are composed of a single molecule or subunit. The disaccharides are composed of two monosaccharides linked together, and polysaccharides are composed of 3 or more monosaccharides linked together.

Detailed explanation-3: -In vivo, polysaccharides are biosynthesized by the catalysis of glycosyltransferases, which catalyze exclusively the formation of a glycosidic bond with the corresponding sugar nucleotides as substrates.
