A large molecule made up of many similar or identical subunits.
A
Monomer
B
Lipids
C
Polymer
D
Enzyme
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -These are known as macromolecules. Most macromolecules are polymers, which are long chains of subunits called monomers. These subunits are often very similar to each other, and for all the diversity of polymers (and living things in general) there are only about 40-50 common monomers.

Detailed explanation-2: -The name given for a long molecule consisting of many similar or identical monomers that are linked together is a polymer.

Detailed explanation-3: -Polymer molecules, or macromolecules, are composed of large numbers of linked, small repeat units. The units from which polymers are synthesized are called monomers. Polymers may be made from one kind of monomer, giving homopolymers, or from several kinds of monomers, giving copolymers.

Detailed explanation-4: -polymer, any of a class of natural or synthetic substances composed of very large molecules, called macromolecules, that are multiples of simpler chemical units called monomers.
