Solution

The correct option is D Lignin
  • Lignin is the most important factor affecting the hydrolysis of the cellulose component in lignocellulosic material.
  • The initial degradation step is difficult because the lignin-carbohydrate complexes create a barrier for microbial conversion due to the crystalline structure.

Thus, lignin is left untreated during the anaerobic digestion of organic wastes.
