Answer 1

The 4 major macromolecules are:

- b) carbohydrates
- c) lipids
- d) nucleic acids
- g) proteins

So, you would check b, c, d, and g. Monomers, disaccharides, and polysaccharides are not classified as the major macromolecules themselves; instead, they are related to the structure and composition of the macromolecules.
