The correct answer is Rubber.
Glycogen, Starch, and Cellulose are all polysaccharides, which are complex carbohydrates. They are polymers made up of repeating units of glucose (a monosaccharide). Glycogen is the storage form of glucose in animals and fungi. Starch is the storage form of glucose in plants. Cellulose is a major structural component of plant cell walls. Natural rubber is a polymer of isoprene (2-methyl-1,3-butadiene), which is an organic compound belonging to the diene class.
