Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Both eubacteria and archaebacteria have cell wall covering the plasma membrane that strengthen the cell. The cell wall of eubacteria is made up of carbohydrate-protein complexes called peptidoglycan, which link together to create a strong mesh that gives the eubacterial cell wall a great strength. The cell wall of archaebacteria lacks peptidoglycan.
