C
nucleic acids
D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Among the organic macromolecules, enzymes belong in the category of proteins. Proteins are distinct from carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and lipids in that a protein is made of amino acids.

Detailed explanation-2: -An enzyme is an organic molecule (usually a protein) that catalyzes a cellular reaction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Enzyme molecules are a class of polypeptides whose function in an organism is chiefly determined by their shape.

Detailed explanation-4: -What Are Proteins Made Of? The building blocks of proteins are amino acids, which are small organic molecules that consist of an alpha (central) carbon atom linked to an amino group, a carboxyl group, a hydrogen atom, and a variable component called a side chain (see below).

Detailed explanation-5: -All the enzymes belong to the category of proteins. Proteins are distinct from carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and lipids and in that, a protein is made of amino acids. these link together to form a three-dimensional type structure.
