two $\alpha$-$D$-glucopyranose units with $1-4$ glycosidic linkage

(D) Maltose is a disaccharide composed of two $\alpha$-$D$-glucopyranose units. These two units are joined together by an $\alpha$-glycosidic linkage between the $C1$ of one glucose unit and the $C4$ of the other glucose unit,known as a $1-4$ glycosidic linkage.
