Solution

The correct option is D Peptidoglycan
The cell wall of bacteria contains peptidoglycan which is made up of a polysaccharide backbone consisting of alternating N-Acetylmuramic acid (NAM) and N-acetylglucosamine (NAG) residues in equal amounts. It is responsible for rigidity and shape of the bacterial cell wall. So, the correct answer is option D.
