Vedclass · Answer

(C) In bacteria, the cell envelope consists of a tightly linked three-layered structure: the outermost $Glycocalyx$, followed by the $Cell 	ext{ } wall$, and then the $Plasma 	ext{ } membrane$. $Glycocalyx$ is the outermost layer, which can be in the form of a loose sheath called the $slime 	ext{ } layer$ or a thick and tough layer called the $capsule$. Therefore, the correct answer is $Glycocalyx$.
