C
monosaccharide
D
monomer
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Monosaccharides (from Greek monos: single, sacchar: sugar), also called simple sugars, are the simplest forms of sugar and the most basic units (monomers) from which all carbohydrates are built. (though not all molecules with this formula are monosaccharides).

Detailed explanation-2: -Sugar Monomers: Glucose is the most common natural monomer. It links together to form polymers of Starch, Cellulose and Glycogen. Glucose also provides a vital source of energy for many organisms.

Detailed explanation-3: -A monosaccharide is the monomer that makes up a polysaccharide. In short-Monomer is a general term, while monosaccharide is a specific term for the monomer that makes up a carbohydrate. A monosaccharide is a single sugar molecule. This includes glucose, fructose, and galactose.

Detailed explanation-4: -Monosaccharides. A monosaccharide is the monomer of a carbohydrate. Carbohydrates, such as sugars and starches, store energy. Others, such as cellulose and chitin, are structural in nature.
