Human is unable to digest dietary

Solution
The correct option is D Cellulose
Cellulose is a linear polysaccharide polymer with many glucose monosaccharide units. The acetal linkage is beta, which makes it different from starch. This peculiar difference in acetal linkages results in a major difference in digestibility of humans. Humans are unable to digest cellulose, because the appropriate enzymes to breakdown the beta acetal linkages are lacking.
