I believe it's C. Amino acid is a monomer not a polymer. Q2 is B. Q3 I believe is A. Q4 is D.

Amino acid is not an example of a polymer.its an monomer whereas
polymer is made up of repeating subunit and is a large molecule and chemical bond exist
so i think option C is correct for the first
2-
A carbon atom is able to form four single covalent bonds because it has four valence electrons in its outermost energy level or outermost shell so to complete its octate it forms four singl covalent bond
3-An organic compound that contains a carbonyl group with a hydroxyl group attached to it is an example of carboxylic acid
4-
All of the following release carbon into the atmosphere except the
sedimentation of dead organisms.so in my opinion its the correct one
5-Alcohols has a hydroxyl group -O-H attached to a carbon atom
so i conclude option A is correct for last one

hope it helps
