A
Fats
B
Proteins
C
Water
D
Salt
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Proteins. Proteins are one of the most abundant organic molecules in living systems and have the most diverse range of functions of all macromolecules.

Detailed explanation-2: -Biomolecules are important for the functioning of living organisms. Several macromolecules (protein, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and enzymes) and small molecules (amino acids, vitamins, fatty acids, neurotransmitters, and hormones) fall under the category of biomolecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -biomolecule, also called biological molecule, any of numerous substances that are produced by cells and living organisms. Biomolecules have a wide range of sizes and structures and perform a vast array of functions. The four major types of biomolecules are carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins.

Detailed explanation-4: -Organic molecules associated with living organisms are also called biomolecules. Organic compounds are molecules that contain carbon atoms covalently bonded to hydrogen atoms (C-H bonds).

Detailed explanation-5: -Within all lifeforms on Earth, from the tiniest bacterium to the giant sperm whale, there are four major classes of organic macromolecules that are always found and are essential to life. These are the carbohydrates, lipids (or fats), proteins, and nucleic acids.
