B
nuclear base
C
amino acids
D
nucleotide
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glycerol and fatty acids are the monomers that make up lipids. Nucleotides are the monomers that make up nucleic acids.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Glycerol and fatty acids are described as the monomers of lipids.

Detailed explanation-3: -Monomers are the building blocks of the four basic macromolecules of life-monosaccharides are the monomers of carbohydrates, amino acids are the monomers of proteins, glycerol/fatty acids are the monomers of lipids, and nucleotides are the monomers of DNA.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lipids include fats and oils (triglycerides), phospholipids, waxes, and steroids. Nucleic acids are a class of biochemical compounds composed of monomers, called nucleotides, which are polymerized to form large strands.

Detailed explanation-5: -Fats are a class of lipids containing two kinds of monomers, fatty acids, and glycerol.
