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). So the most common building block among the options for lipids (in a general sense as lipids don't have a strict monomer like other biomolecules) is fatty acids.
