Best answer
Right choice is (b) Mannose

The explanation is: Mannose is the major candidate of the flocculation receptor as it is the major component of the yeast cell wall. Miki et al. in 1982 showed the inhibition of the flocculation process by a plant lectin (Concanavilin A) which selectively binds to α-mannan.
