A
Saturated and Unsaturated
B
Monosaccharides and Polysaccharides
C
macro and micro (trace)
D
Low biological and High biological
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -There are two kinds of minerals: macrominerals and trace minerals. You need larger amounts of macrominerals. They include calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride and sulfur. You only need small amounts of trace minerals.

Detailed explanation-2: -The macrominerals are calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, sodium and potassium; they are required in large amounts in the body. Trace or microminerals are only required only in minute quantities in the body. These are zinc, copper, chromium, selenium, molybdenum, manganese, iodine etc.

Detailed explanation-3: -Trace minerals, also called micro minerals, are essential minerals that the human body must get from food, but, unlike macro minerals, we only need a very small amount. Even though trace minerals are needed in tiny doses, they are still crucial to our health and development.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are two main classifications of minerals. Major minerals are minerals your body needs in relatively large (or major) quantities, and trace minerals are minerals your body needs in relatively small (or trace) quantities. Major minerals include sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and sulfur.
