Solution

The correct option is D Mucopeptide/ Peptidoglycan
Bacteria are prokaryotic organisms. They lack true cell organelles. They posses nucleoid instead of a true nucleus. Nucleoid is a genetic material without a nuclear envelope. The cell wall of bacteria is made up of peptidoglycan. Peptidoglycan is a polymer made up of sugars and amino acids. It is also called as murein and Mucopeptide.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Mucopeptide/ Peptidoglycan.'
