Correct: the carbohydrate, protein, and nucleic acid statements (1, 3, and 4).
Why not the lipid statement? Lipids do store energy, help insulate the body and act in regulation (steroid hormones) and membrane structure, but “provide support” is not normally listed as a primary lipid function (structural support is mainly from proteins and some carbohydrates).
