Solution

The correct option is A Chitin or fungal cellulose
The cell wall is a tough, rigid layer that surrounds some types of cells. The cell wall is a characteristic feature of cells of plants, bacteria, fungi, algae, and some archaea. It is located outside the cell membrane. Cell wall composition varies from species to species and also depends on the developing stage of the organism. Protozoans and animals do not have a cell wall. In fungi, cell walls are made of chitin.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
