A
nucleotides
B
amino acids
C
monosaccharides
D
fatty acids
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The building blocks of proteins are amino acids, which are small organic molecules that consist of an alpha (central) carbon atom linked to an amino group, a carboxyl group, a hydrogen atom, and a variable component called a side chain (see below).

Detailed explanation-2: -The amino acids are the building blocks of the proteins. That work as the bricks of the building. The amino acids are joined to form a long chain of acids by amino and carboxyl and yields water. This long chain amino acids is the primary protein.

Detailed explanation-3: -The 9 essential amino acids are: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine.

Detailed explanation-4: -Proteins are the building blocks of life. Every cell in the human body contains protein. The basic structure of protein is a chain of amino acids. You need protein in your diet to help your body repair cells and make new ones.
