Solution

The correct option is D Mucopeptide
The cell wall of prokaryotes is made of carbohydrates and proteins. The compound is peptidoglycan or mucopeptide in which short peptide is attached to murein or muramic acid. Whereas fungal cell wall is made up of chitin, plant cell wall is made up of cellulose and glucosamine is the part of the exoskeleton of the arthropods. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
