Answer: C

It can't be A because there are no nucleic acids in DNA polymers

It isn't B because DNA is a polymer of nucleotides of MONOmers that are nucleic acids.

It can't be D because the 3 parts of a nucleotide is a sugar, nitrogenous bases(adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine), and a phosphate group.

It cannot be E because there are no proteins in nucleotides.

Answer C is the only answer that fit the sentence perfectly.
