The correct response is:
**B Carbohydrates will dissolve in water but not lipids.**
This is because carbohydrates are generally polar and can form hydrogen bonds with water, allowing them to dissolve, whereas lipids are nonpolar and do not dissolve well in water. Additionally, both carbohydrates and lipids contain hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen, so options C and D are incorrect. Option A is also incorrect because lipids do not dissolve in water.
