Solution

The correct option is A Lipopolysaccharide
When a decolourizer such as alcohol or acetone is added, it interacts with the lipids of the cell membrane. A Gram-negative cell loses its outer lipopolysaccharide membrane and the inner peptidoglycan layer is left exposed. The crystal violet complexes are washed from the Gram-negative cell along with the outer membrane.
