The answer is C. Glucose is an organic molecule.

Glucose is carbohydrate so it cannot be a protein or a nucleic acid. It is an organic molecule. The organic molecule is compound consisting of carbon to which are attached hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. Since, glucose is a simple sugar made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, it, as well as any other carbohydrate, is the organic molecule.
