Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Monosaccharides are building blocks of carbohydrates. Amino acids are building blocks of proteins. Nucleic acids are made of nucleotides. Lipids, like triglycerides, often have fatty acids as a key component (along with glycerol in triglycerides).

Answer:

C. fatty acids
