    A, B, C

    Explanation:

    One thing to note here is that maltose is a disaccharide made from 2 glucose units linked with α (1⇒4) glycosidice bond. What this means is that polysaccharides that has glucose with α (1⇒4) glycosidic bond. as building block can potentially be digested into maltose.

    Now let's examine each answer

    Amylose is linear chain of glucose linked with α (1⇒4) glycosidic bond, so digestion could produce maltose Glycogen and Amylopectin are branched polymer of glucose found in animals and plants respectively, since the bond in glucose chain (excluding the bond that allows branching) is α (1⇒4) glycosidic bond, they can be digested into maltose too Cellulose and Chitin are also chain of glucose, however, the bond between glucose in these chains are β (1⇒4) glycosidic bond instead. Which prevent their digestion into maltose
