Solution

The correct option is C Cellulose
Starch is a food reserve of the plant which is formed by the linkage of alpha 1,4 molecule of glucose.
Lignocellulose is a complex of lignin and cellulose present in the cell walls of woody plants.
The plant cell membrane is surrounded by the cell wall. A cell wall is made up of multiple layers of cellulose. All the plant cells contain cellulose in their cell walls. Thus, trees have a very high cellulose content. It is formed by 1,4 linkage of D-glucose units.
Chitin is present in the cell wall of fungi.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
