Best answer
The correct answer is (d) Hemicellulose

For explanation I would say: Hemicellulose is not one of the main biomass feedstocks as it is demanded from the pretreatment of lignocellulose. Lignocellulose includes grains, potatoes, cassava and the pretreatment as these are cellulose and hemicellulose.
