The right answer is Oxygen.

Water (H2O) is a molecule composed of one atom of oxygen and two atoms of hydrogenes.

A carbohydrate (Cn (H2O) n) is a chemical of organic origin. Carbohydrates are biomolecules composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, whose main biological functions in living beings are to provide immediate and structural energy.
