multiple choice

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Starch: Plants store energy as starch (a polysaccharide made of glucose units).
• Cellulose: Provides structural support in plant cell walls, not energy storage.
• Chitin: Found in fungi and arthropods, not plant energy storage.
• Fructose: A monosaccharide (simple sugar), not the main storage carbohydrate in plants.

So the correct answer is the option with "starch".
