Contains the elements Carbon, Hydrogen, and Nitrogen. Does NOT contain phosphorus.
A
Proteins
B
Nucleic Acids
C
Carbohydrates
D
Lipids
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus (CHON P).

Detailed explanation-2: -In addition to carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms, all proteins contain nitrogen and sulfur atoms, and many also contain phosphorus atoms and traces of other elements. Proteins serve a variety of roles in living organisms and are often classified by these biological roles.

Detailed explanation-3: -They contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen like the carbohydrates and lipids, but they also contain nitrogen and often sulfur and phosphorus. Protein molecules are often very large and are made up of hundreds to thousands of amino acid units.

Detailed explanation-4: -Amino acids join to form proteins. Each amino acid is formed with one basic group NH2 and one acidic group(COOH).
