Answer 2

Answer:

D.   The cell walls in fungi are composed of chitin. Plant cell walls are composed of cellulose.

Explanation:

Earlier fungi were included in the kingdom Plantae due to the presence of cell wall but the composition of their cell wall is different from the plants. The plant cell wall is composed of cellulose whereas, the fungal cell wall is made of chitin which is a derivate of glucose. It is a long chain polymer of N-acetylglucosamine.
