a) Lignin
b) Cellulose
c) Hemicellulose
d) Glucose

Answer: a
Explanation: Lignin is the natural binding constituent of the cells of wood and plant stalks. It is a highly branched, three-dimensional (3D), alkylaromatic, thermoplastic polymer of uncertain size, built up largely from substituted phenylpropane or propylbenzene units. Hydroxyl or methoxyl groups are attached to the benzene carbon atoms.
