A
RNA
B
DNA
C
Lipids
D
Carbohydrates
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Chromosomes have proteins called histones that bind to DNA. DNA has two strands that twist into the shape of a spiral ladder called a helix. DNA is made up of four building blocks called nucleotides: adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C).

Detailed explanation-2: -Chromosomes are made up of a DNA-protein complex called chromatin that is organized into subunits called nucleosomes. The way in which eukaryotes compact and arrange their chromatin not only allows a large amount of DNA to fit in a small space, but it also helps regulate gene expression.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chromosomes are made up of nucleic acids and proteins. These form nucleotides which are collectively called deoxyribonucleic acid or ribonucleic acid.
