B
Lipids
C
Proteins
D
Nucleic Acids
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -For example, proteins are composed of monomers called amino acids. They are linked together to form a polypeptide chain, which folds into a three dimensional (3D) structure to constitute a functional protein (Figure 1).

Detailed explanation-2: -All proteins are made up of different arrangements of the same 20 amino acids. Each amino acid has the same fundamental structure, which consists of a central carbon atom bonded to an amino group (NH2), a carboxyl group (COOH), a hydrogen atom, and a variable “R” group (Figure 3.5).
