A
Nucleic Acid
B
Lipids
C
Carbohydrate
D
Protein
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Lipids are fatty, waxy, or oily compounds that are soluble in organic solvents and insoluble in polar solvents such as water. Lipids include: Fats and oils (triglycerides) Phospholipids.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lipids include fats, oils, waxes, phospholipids, and steroids.

Detailed explanation-3: -Figure 2.18 Lipids include fats, such as triglycerides, which are made up of fatty acids and glycerol, phospholipids, and steroids. During this covalent bond formation, three water molecules are released.

Detailed explanation-4: -A lipid is any of various organic compounds that are insoluble in water. They include fats, waxes, oils, hormones, and certain components of membranes and function as energy-storage molecules and chemical messengers.

Detailed explanation-5: -Fats and oils are part of a class of biomolecules called lipids, which are loosely defined as biomolecules that are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents like hexane or chloroform.
