The right answer is a. they contain many small, repeating subunits bonded together.

In chemistry and biology, a polymer is a molecule made up of a chain of similar molecules, called monomers; a polymer is a macromolecule resulting from the assembly of many identical units (monomers), a chemical compound with repetitive structural units.

DNA, glycogen and proteins are polymers
