Monosaccharides
C
Amino Acids
D
Dipeptide
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The building blocks of carbohydrates are monosaccharides. Monosaccharides tend to have a carbonyl group (C=O), and are surrounded by hydroxyl groups (-OH).

Detailed explanation-2: -The basic building block of carbohydrates is the monosaccharide, which consists of six carbon atoms. Sugars are sweet, short-chain, soluble carbohydrates that are found in many foods and supply us with energy. Simple sugars, such as glucose, consist of just one monosaccharide.

Detailed explanation-3: -The basic building blocks of carbohydrates are monosaccharides. The monosaccharides are the simplest carbohydrates and cannot be hydrolyzed into smaller units. Monosaccharides are the monomeric units that link together by glycosidic linkages to form complex carbohydrates such as oligosaccharides and polysaccharides.
