The three elements that make up most of all 4 types of macromolecules
A
Water, Oxygen, & Hydrogen
B
Carbon, Hydrogen, & Oxygen
C
Nitrogen, Hydrogen, & Oxygen
D
Nitrogen, Phosphorus, & Sulfur
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -There are four classes of macromolecules (polysaccharides or carbohydrates, triglycerides or lipids, polypeptides or proteins, and nucleic acids such as DNA & RNA). Carbohydrates and lipids are made of only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (CHO). Proteins are made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen (CHON ).

Detailed explanation-2: -The four main classes of organic compounds (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids) that are essential to the proper functioning of all living things are known as polymers or macromolecules. All of these compounds are built primarily of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen but in different ratios.

Detailed explanation-3: -11.1 Introduction: The Four Major Macromolecules These are the carbohydrates, lipids (or fats), proteins, and nucleic acids.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are three main types of biological macromolecules, according to mammalian systems: Carbohydrates. Nucleic acids. Proteins.

Detailed explanation-5: -All the biological macromolecules contain Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. However, most do not contain nitrogen.
