Solution

The correct option is C Proteins and polysaccharides
Most of the cells in multicellular organisms are surrounded by a complex mixture of nonliving material that makes up the extracellular matrix (ECM). It consists of protein fibres embedded in an amorphous mixture of huge protein-polysaccharide. Phospholipids make up the cell membrane and the cellulose makes up the cell wall.
