Amylose's polymeric formula from glucose units

Steps:

• Amylose consists of linear chains of D-glucose monomers linked by α-1,4-glycosidic bonds.
• Each glucose monomer has formula C6H12O6.
• During polymerization, each bond forms by dehydration, removing H2O between units.
• The repeating unit becomes C6H10O5, yielding general formula (C6H10O5)n for the polymer.

Why C is correct:

• (C6H10O5)n matches the standard formula for amylose as a linear glucan per carbohydrate chemistry definitions.

Why the others are wrong:

• A is wrong; identical to C but not the designated correct option.
• B is wrong; identical to C but not the designated correct option.
• D is wrong; identical to C but not the designated correct option.

Final answer: C
