B
Proteins and Nucleic Acids
C
Proteins
D
Carbohydrates and Proteins
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Carbohydrates and lipids are made of only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (CHO). Proteins are made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen (CHON ). Nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus (CHON P).

Detailed explanation-2: -Carbohydrates. Carbohydrates include sugars and starches. These compounds contain only the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The biomolecules that are made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen are carbohydrates.

Detailed explanation-4: -The four major types of biomolecules are carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins.

Detailed explanation-5: -Most biomolecules are organic compounds, and just four elements-oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen-make up 96% of the human body’s mass. But many other elements, such as the various biometals, are also present in small amounts.
