A
lipids
B
elements
C
enzymes
D
carbohydrates
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Enzymes are proteins that help speed up chemical reactions in our bodies. Enzymes are essential for digestion, liver function and much more. Too much or too little of a certain enzyme can cause health problems.

Detailed explanation-2: -A fundamental task of proteins is to act as enzymes-catalysts that increase the rate of virtually all the chemical reactions within cells. Although RNAs are capable of catalyzing some reactions, most biological reactions are catalyzed by proteins.

Detailed explanation-3: -A protein that speeds up chemical reactions in the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -A substance that speeds up a chemical reaction-without being a reactant-is called a catalyst.

Detailed explanation-5: -Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up biochemical reactions. Enzymes are extremely efficient in speeding up reactions. They can catalyze up to several million reactions per second. Enzymes are involved in most of the biochemical reactions that take place in organisms.
