The human body is mostly made of the elements
A
carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen.
B
oxygen, calcium, carbon, and hydrogen.
C
hydrogen, iron, nitrogen, and oxygen.
D
carbon, sodium, nitrogen, and hydrogen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -By mass, about 96 percent of our bodies are made of four key elements: oxygen (65 percent), carbon (18.5 percent), hydrogen (9.5 percent) and nitrogen (3.3 percent).

Detailed explanation-2: -The human body is approximately 99% comprised of just six elements: Oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon, calcium, and phosphorus. Another five elements make up about 0.85% of the remaining mass: sulfur, potassium, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium. All of these 11 elements are essential elements.

Detailed explanation-3: -About 99% of the mass of the human body is made up of six elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. Only about 0.85% is composed of another five elements: potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium. All 11 are necessary for life.

Detailed explanation-4: -It is thus no wonder that 99% of the atoms in the human body come from six elements: Hydrogen (62.9%), oxygen (almost 24%), carbon (nearly 12%), nitrogen (nearly 0.6%), calcium (0.24%) and phosphorus (0.14%). Calcium is on the list as it is essential for our skeleton, which contains 99% of the calcium in our body.

Detailed explanation-5: -Of the elements found in the human body, four of them make up the largest percentage of our body weight (96.2%). The four elements are oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen.
