The correct answer is option D. Carbon and hydrogen.

The lipids are the molecules, which are made up of a long chain of hydrocarbons. The hydrocarbons are the compounds, which are mainly made up of hydrogen and carbon. Lipids are dominated by the hydrocarbons and they also have oxygen atoms present in their structures.

Hence, the structure of the lipids contain a long chain of hydrogen and carbon atoms.
