Solution

The correct option is C Cellulose
Cellulose is a polysaccharide. It is formed by the linkage of beta 1,4 linkage of glucose units. It is the main component of the cell wall of the plant. The cell wall contains long chains of cellulose microfibrils which are made of long fiber-like chains of cellulose with intermolecular hydrogen bonds. It is responsible for the structure and strength of the cell wall. So, the correct answer is option C.
