(a)
Interpretation: The validation of the given characteristic being correct for chitin has to be predicted.
Concept introduction: The second most abundant naturally occurring polysaccharide is chitin. It gives rigidity to most of the exoskeletons of crabs, lobsters, insects, shrimp. Also, the cell walls of fungi has chitin.
