Solution

The correct option is D Agar-agar
Chocolate is prepared using cocoa beans and not algae, while wax is obtained from honey bee and butter is a milk product and not obtained from algae. Agar-agar is a gelatinous substance obtained from algae. Agar is actually the resulting mixture of two components: the linear polysaccharide agarose, and a heterogeneous mixture of smaller molecules called as agaropectin.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
