Correct answer: C.
Explanation: DNA is a polymer of nucleotides and stores the genetic blueprint of organisms. The other choices are incorrect: lipids are built from glycerol and fatty acids (not sugars); proteins are polymers of amino acids (not glycerol and fatty acids); carbohydrates are made of sugars (not amino acids) and do not fold into enzymes.
