Solution

The correct option is C Cellulose
  • Plants are eukaryotes with the presence of a cell wall.
  • The cell wall is a non-living layer secreted by the protoplasm of the cell that forms a protective covering around the living plasma membrane.
  • It is composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, pectin, lignin, glycoproteins, and various other chemicals.
So, the correct answer is 'Cellulose'.
