Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
The cell walls of fungi are made up of Chitin.
The cell wall is a characteristic structure of fungi and is composed mainly of glucans, chitin, and glycoproteins.
The fungal cell wall is made of a chitin-glucan complex; while glucans are also found in plants and chitin in the exoskeleton of arthropods, fungi are the only organisms that combine these two structural molecules in their cell wall.
