Solution

The correct option is A Cellulose
The chief constituent of the cell wall of a plant cell is cellulose, which is a polysaccharide. Whereas suberin is a waxy substance associated with the cell wall of plant cells, lignin is mainly present in the cell wall of the dead plant cells and pectin is the heteropolysaccharide present in the primary cell wall only.
