Solution

The correct option is D Pectin
The cell wall of green algae is made of an inner layer of cellulose and an outer layer of pectin. When pectin dissolves in water, it forms a thick, gooey substance. This gives algae its slimy texture.

The cell wall of fungi is made up of chitin and the peptidoglycans are found in the cell walls of bacteria.
