Solution

The correct option is B Esterified glycosides
The multilayered structure of the eggshell provides resistance to the egg from gastric juice. The outer layer is made up of lipoprotein, the middle layer of chitin and keratinized protein, while the inner layer consists of the esterified glycoside known as ascaroside. Hence, the correct answer is option A.
