Solution
The correct option is D Sugar
The bacterial cell wall is made up of Peptidoglycan or murein. It is a polymer that is made up of sugars and amino acids. The sugar component is made up of alternating N-acetylglucosamine (NAG) and N-acetylmuramic acid (NAM). NAM is then attached to an amino acid chain of L-alanine, D-glutamic acid, diaminopimelic acid (DAP) and D-alanine. Thus, the correct answer is 'Sugar.'
