A
Glycerol
B
Fatty acid
C
Amino acid
D
Nucleotide
E
Monosaccharide
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A natural lipid molecule in our body, known as triacylglycerols, or triglycerides (TGs), is made up of one glycerol molecule that is joined to three molecules of fatty acids (saturated/unsaturated or both) through ester bonds.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lipids’ monomers are glycerol and fatty acids. The glycerol makes the backbone of a triglyceride, a common lipid polymer. Three fatty acids make the long fatty chains of triglyceride. Each polymer of lipids is similar in that they have the same basic structures of the monomers within.
