A
Monosaccahrides
B
Triglycerides
C
Amino acids
D
Nucleotides
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The monomer of carbohydrates is a monosaccharide with the basic formula of a carbon, two hydrogen and an oxygen molecule (CH 2 0) 12 . Glucose, a product of photosynthesis, is simple sugar and a monomer with the chemical formula C 6 H 12 O 6. Glucose is commonly known as corn sugar or blood sugar.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are four main types of monomer, including sugars, amino acids, fatty acids, and nucleotides. Each of these monomer types play important roles in the existence and development of life, and each one can be synthesized abiotically.
