Answer:

OPTION C :NUCLEOTIDES AND AMINO ACIDS

Step-by-step explanation:

viruses are made of:

DNA(composed of) ------>NUCLEOTIDES

RNA (composed of) ------->NUCLEOTIDES

PROTEIN (composed of) ----->AMINO ACIDS

WHEN THESE MOLECULES (DNA,RNA PROTEIN) ARE BROKEN INTO SMALLER MOLECULE(THEIR CONSTITUENT)

THEY RELEASE THEIR CONSITUENT MOLECULES WHICH ARE AMINO ACIDS AND NUCLEOTIDES

WRONG CHOICES:WHY?

FATTYACIDS AND GLYCEROLS ARE CONSITUENTS OF LIPIDS WHICH DONOT MAKE UP VIRUS AND HENCE NOT RELEASED WHEN BROKEN INTO FRAGMENT.
