Right option is (a) True

Easiest explanation: Dextrins are derived from the starch of the malt endosperm and therefore they may be linear glucose polymers joined by α(1,4) linkages or branched molecules containing α(1,6) linkages. The larger dextrins have several branched structures whereas simple dextrins have only one structure.
