Solution

The correct option is A

cellulose


The cell wall is the protective, semi-permeable outer layer of a plant cell. A major function of the cell wall is to give the cell strength and structure and to filter molecules that pass in and out of the cell. The cell wall of a plant is made up of cellulose. Cellulose is a long chain of linked sugar molecules.
