D
carbohydrate
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Carbohydrates are organic species having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms in a ratio of 1:2:1.

Detailed explanation-2: -Carbohydrates are a class of chemical compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in 1:2:1 ratio, respectively.

Detailed explanation-3: -Carbohydrates have the highest oxygen to carbon ratio of any of the important organic molecules. Common monosaccharides include: glucose, fructose, galactose, ribose, and deoxyribose. Notice that the name of each of these sugars ends with the suffix-ose. This suffix, -ose, means full, specifically, full of oxygen.

Detailed explanation-4: -Carbohydrates = energy for cells. Carbohydrates are made of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O), or CHO, in an approximate ratio of 1:2:1. All sugars are carbohydrates.

Detailed explanation-5: -Carbohydrates are organic molecules composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, usually in a ratio of 1:2:1. Carbohydrates include sugars, starch, cellulose, and glycogen. Carbohydrates are the primary sources of energy for most organisms.
