Solution

The correct option is A Lipoprotein
  • The exoskeleton of animals within the phylum Arthropoda mainly consists of a coating called the cuticle.
  • On the exterior surface of the cuticle is a thin, waxy layer called the epicuticle.
  • The epicuticle is formed of three layers; the inner layer is the cuticulin, which is made from lipoproteins. Hence, Epicuticle in exoskeleton is made up of Lipoprotein
  • So, the correct answer is 'Lipoprotein'.
