Of the available options, the first one states that cellulose is a structural part of the hair, this is not correct for several reasons, first cellulose is a biopolymer characteristic of cellular walls in plants, and it's not present in animal cells, secondly human hair is formed mainly of keratin a protein, therefore their basic units are amino acids, not carbohydrates. Therefore taking this into consideration, the correct answer is option 1.
