Solution

The correct option is D Proteins
Amino acids are the building blocks of polypeptide chain or proteins. These are encoded by the triplet codons of mRNA. Each codon synthesizes a specific amino acid. Example: AUG for methionine, UUU for phenylalanine and so on. Amino acids are connected via the peptide bonds to form the proteins.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Proteins'
