The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for one of the most resistant biological materials known. This implies we need to identify a biological substance that exhibits high resistance to various environmental factors. 2. **Identifying the Candidate**: From the video transcript, sporopollenin is mentioned as a highly resistant biological material. It is the major component of spores and pollen grains. 3. **Properties of Sporopollenin**: - It is resistant to chemicals and enzymes. - It is chemically stable and remains unchanged for millions of years (up to 500 million years). - Its stability and resistance make it a significant biological material. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the information provided, the answer to the question is sporopollenin, as it is recognized for its exceptional resistance and stability over geological time. **Final Answer**: One of the most resistant biological materials known is sporopollenin. ---
