As we learnt that

Starch -

A polymer of $alpha-D-glucose$ that consists of having two components , amylose ( water soluble unbranched chain ) and amylopectin ( water insoluble having branched chain)

- wherein

Main storage polysaccharide of plants

Amylose : $alpha$ , $1-4$ glycosidic linkage

Amylopectin : $alpha ,1,4$ linkage and $alpha ,1,6$ linkage

Amylopectin form straight chain due t 1,4 linkage and branching occur due to 1, 6 - linkage.

Option 1)

Amylopectin have 1 $\rightarrow$ 4 $\alpha$ -linkage and
1 $\rightarrow$ 6 $\beta$ - linkage

This is correct.

Option 2)

Amylose have 1 $\rightarrow$ 4 $\alpha$ -linkage and
1 $\rightarrow$ 6 $\beta$ - linkage

This is incorrect.

Option 3)

Amylopectin have 1 $\rightarrow$ 4 $\alpha$ -linkage and
1 $\rightarrow$ 6 $\alpha$ - linkage

This is incorrect.

Option 4)

Amylose is made up of glucose and galactose

This is incorrect.
