A. Pectin
B. Lignin
C. Chitin
D. Cellulose

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Lignin is a complex organic polymer deposited in the secondary cell wall of xylem vessels and sclerenchyma fibers, providing rigidity, strength, and water resistance. It is the major non-carbohydrate component of wood. Cellulose is the main polysaccharide in the primary wall, chitin is in fungi and arthropods, pectin is in the middle lamella and primary wall.
