Solution

The correct option is D
Cellulose and rayon

Cellulose is the substance that makes up most of a plant's cell walls. It consists of a linear chain of several hundred to many thousands of glucose molecules linked together. Rayon is also known as regenerated fibre since it is manufactured from cellulose present in wood pulp. Hence, the basic unit in both is glucose.
