Answer
Correct option: A.
Cellulose
Cellulose is a polysaccharide. Cellulose is a linear polysaccharide polymer with many glucose monosaccharide units. It is an organic compound with the formula $\left(\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_{10} \mathrm{O}_5\right) \mathrm{n}$. The cellulose chain bristles with polar $−OH$ groups.
These groups form many hydrogen bonds with $OH$ groups on adjacent chains, bundling the chains together. The chains also pack regularly in places to form hard, stable crystalline regions that give the bundled chains even more stability and strength.
