Solution
The correct option is A Cellulose
Cellulose is a polysaccharide of glucose with many (more than 10) monosaccharide units, linked together. Only microorganisms have the capacity to break the bond between these units, which are absent in our digestive system. They act as roughage by allowing digested food and waste products to pass through the gut.
