C. carbohydrates
D. proteins

Answer

C

Explanation

In the primordial hot soup, simple organic molecules reacted amongst themselves to form heavier and larger molecules . When temperature of the earth cooled down to `1000^(@)C` or even lower a variety of simple hydrocarbons are formed. First, small chain compounds of C, H and O were formed form hydroxy derivations. Some of the nucleotides came to have more phosphates and functioned as energy supplier . Nucleotides underwent polymerization to form nucleic acids, DNA and RNA. Later enzymes and coenzymes came into existence.
