Is my answer correct?

Cellulose is a carbohydrate with an alternating pattern of glucose molecules. How would plants be affected if cellulose did not have this alternating pattern?
I chose Plant would not be able to store energy but I'm not 100 percent sure. Here are the other choices:
A. Plants would not be able to store energy
B. Plants would lack the ability to reproduce
C. Plants would lack stability and strength
D. Plants would not be able to produce chlorophyll

I appreciate any help! Thank you!!

It's A
Brother had to tell me, I'm not in high school yet so I don't have biology.

C. Cellulose would lack stability and strength. Cellulose is a tough and fibrous carbohydrate that provides cell walls with strength and stability, hence the outcome of a lack of cellulose can be summaries by answer C.
