Options
A Nucleic acids
Correct Answer
B Lipids
C Carbohydrates
D Glucose
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) function primarily in information storage (genetic code) and transmission. While their monomers contain energy-rich bonds, they are not the cell's primary molecules for energy storage (like lipids and carbohydrates) or immediate energy production (like glucose).

Hint

Think about their primary role as information molecules.
