Best answer
Right choice is (a) Lignin

To explain: Lignin has no fiber-forming properties. This 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.
