Brief Explanations

Carbohydrates are made up of monosaccharides. Monosaccharides are the simplest form of carbohydrates and serve as the building blocks. For example, glucose is a monosaccharide that can combine to form more complex carbohydrates like starch (a polysaccharide made of many glucose units). Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids (like DNA and RNA). Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Fatty acids and glycerol are the components of lipids (such as triglycerides).

Answer:

C. monosaccharides
