Solution

The correct option is A Natural polymer
Most of the structures of living things are comprised of natural polymers.

There are three main types.
1) polynucleotide, which are chains of nucleotides.

2) polyamides, which are chains of proteins made of amino acids joined together by the peptide bonds.

And 3) polysaccharides, which are chains of sugars. Hence Cellulose is an organic polysaccharide consisting of a linear chain of linked D-glucose units where as Starches are polymers of sugars, often glucose
