C₁ of α-D-galactose and C₄ of α-D-glucose

3

C₄ of β-D-galactose and C₁ of β-D-glucose

4

C₁ of β-D-galactose and C-4 of β-D-glucose

Solution:

Lactose is a disaccharide composed of β-D-galactose and β-D-glucose. The glycosidic linkage in lactose is a β-1,4-glycosidic linkage, which means it is formed between C1 of β-D-galactose and C4 of β-D-glucose.
