Biologically, animal cells fundamentally lack a cell wall. Cell walls are found in plant cells (cellulose), fungal cells (chitin), bacterial cells (peptidoglycan), etc., providing structural support outside the cell membrane. Animal cells only have a cell membrane as their outer boundary. The cell membrane is primarily composed of a lipid bilayer with embedded proteins and associated carbohydrates. Given the options, "Lipid bilayer" is the most accurate description of the essential structural component of the animal cell membrane. The question is likely flawed in its phrasing, using "cell wall" instead of "cell membrane", or is designed to test the knowledge that animal cells lack a cell wall, with the options representing components of structures found in other organisms or other parts of the animal cell. Assuming the most probable intent of the test setter asking about the main structural component at the cell periphery among the options, Lipid bilayer (the core of the cell membrane) is the closest fit, although technically it's the membrane, not a wall.
Animal cell wall is essentially made of :
