Solution

The correct option is D Diaminopimelic acid
Diaminopimelic (DAP) acid is an amino acid which is a characteristic of certain cell walls of some bacteria. DAP is often found in the peptide linkages of NAM-NAG chains that make up the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria (Cyanobacteria).
Thus, option D is the correct option.
