Answer:

The correct answer is C. Proteins.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amino acids are the smaller component pieces, called monomers, that are joined together to make the longer strand, or polymer, which is a protein. Amino acids are joined by covalent bonds called peptide bonds to make a polypeptide chain, which eventually creates proteins in our cells. There are 20 different amino acids in our cells that come together in a unique order to create the proteins organisms need.

Hope this helps!
