Solution

The correct option is C Chitin and Mannan
The Yeast Cell Wall is made of 30 - 60 % polysaccharides (beta-glucan and mannan sugar polymers), 15 - 30 % proteins, 5 - 20 % lipids and a small amount of chitin. Most of the protein is linked to the Mannan-Oligo- Saccharides and is referred to as the Mannoprotein complex.
So, the correct answer is 'Chitin and Mannan'
