C
Proteins are made of amino acids.
D
Monomers are made of polymers.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -(B) False. Hint: Polymers are macromolecules built up by linking together a large number of small molecules. The repeating units in a polymer are linked through with strong covalent bonds. Small molecules which combine with each other to form polymer molecules are called monomers.

Detailed explanation-2: -Except wool all three are synthetic polymers like teflon, nylon, polyethene, neoprene but wool is a natural polymeric material like silk, amber etc.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hence, the correct option is B i.e. Glucose is not a polymer.

Detailed explanation-4: -Types of polymers. There are several types of polymers. Among the main ones are: natural, synthetic, addition, condensation and rearrangement.
