The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Question**: The question asks for the structural material of the fungal cell wall. 2. **Analyze the Options**: The options provided are: - Pectin - Cellulose - Peptidoglycan - Chitin 3. **Evaluate Each Option**: - **Pectin**: This is primarily found in the primary cell wall of plants, not fungi. - **Cellulose**: This is also a component of plant cell walls, not fungal cell walls. - **Peptidoglycan**: This is a structural component of bacterial cell walls, not fungi. - **Chitin**: This is a polysaccharide that forms the structural component of the fungal cell wall. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the evaluation, the correct answer is **Chitin**. 5. **Additional Information**: Chitin is not only found in fungi but is also a component of the exoskeletons of arthropods.
