1/10
what are carbohydrates primarily composed of?
nucleic acids amino acids
sugars, starches, and fibers fats

Explanation:

To determine the primary components of carbohydrates, we analyze each option:

• Nucleic acids are for genetic info (DNA/RNA), not carbs.
• Amino acids form proteins, not carbs.
• Fats are lipids, distinct from carbs.
• Carbohydrates include sugars (mono/disaccharides), starches (polysaccharides), and fibers (also polysaccharides like cellulose).

Answer:

C. Sugars, starches, and fibers (assuming the option labels are A: Nucleic acids, B: Amino acids, C: Sugars, starches, and fibers, D: Fats; if labels differ, adjust to the correct identifier with the text "Sugars, starches, and fibers").
