The correct answer is option 1: Cellulose. Cellulose is a complex carbohydrate that forms the base of vegetable fibers. It is a structural component of the cell walls in plants and is responsible for their strength and rigidity. Cellulose is made up of long chains of glucose molecules that are linked together. These chains are arranged in a way that allows them to form strong fibers. Vegetable fibers, such as cotton and jute, are derived from plant sources and are primarily composed of cellulose. These fibers are widely used in the textile industry for making fabrics and ropes. It is important to note that option 2 (Proteins), option 3 (Fats), and option 4 (Oils) are incorrect choices as they do not form the base of vegetable fibers.
