This element makes molecules organic.
A
Oxygen
B
Hydrogen
C
Carbon
D
Sulfur
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Organic molecules are molecules that are made of carbon and hydrogen, and can include other elements. Organic molecules must contain carbon atoms covalently bonded to hydrogen atoms (C-H bonds). They usually involve oxygen and can also contain nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorous, and others.

Detailed explanation-2: -Carbon is the main element in organic compounds. Carbon can form stable bonds with many elements, including itself. There are four major types of organic compounds: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nu cleic acid s.

Detailed explanation-3: -Scientists generally define a molecule as organic when it contains not only carbon, but also at least one other element. Typically, that element is hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen or sulfur. Some definitions say that a molecule must contain both carbon and hydrogen to be organic.

Detailed explanation-4: -organic compound, any of a large class of chemical compounds in which one or more atoms of carbon are covalently linked to atoms of other elements, most commonly hydrogen, oxygen, or nitrogen. The few carbon-containing compounds not classified as organic include carbides, carbonates, and cyanides.
