lipid
B
protein
C
carbohydrate
D
nucleic acid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: Carbohydrates because carbohydrate is a molecule that contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen usually in a ratio of two hydrogen atoms for each carbon atom. Carbohydrates are also known as saccharides or carbs.

Detailed explanation-2: -Carbohydrates-organic compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a ratio of about 2 hydrogen atoms to one oxygen atoms with the carbon atoms varying. Carbohydrates exist as monosaccharides, disaccharides or polysaccharides.

Detailed explanation-3: -Carbohydrates are a class of chemical compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in 1:2:1 ratio, respectively.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: The ratio of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in most carbohydrates is 1:2:1. This means for every one carbon atom there are two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. This forms the structure of even the most complex carbohydrates such as starch and glycogen.

Detailed explanation-5: -Carbohydrates are the compounds made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Carbohydrates are the energy giving food, and they are present mainly in cereals, sugar and potatoes. The simplest carbohydrate is glucose.
