Solution

The correct option is C Fungi
Chitin is a long-chain polymer of N-acetylglucosamine. It is the derivative of glucose. It is a primary component of cell walls in fungi. The chitin adds rigidity and structural support to the thin cells of the fungus, and makes fresh mushrooms crisp.
So, the correct answer is option C.
