Solution

The correct option is B

Homopolysaccharides


Fungi are non-photosynthetic eukaryotes with a cell wall. Their cell wall is composed of chitin, which is a homopolysacharide.

Homopolysacharides are long chain carbohydrates made of one type of subunits. Chitin is made of the subunit N-acetylglucosamine which repeats multiple times.
