Solution

The correct option is D P > N > L > C
In animals, by percentages of composition of cellular mass, Proteins (P) occupy the major portion in forming living matter. Most structural and functional units of life, is made up of proteins. This is followed by the genetic material, which is formed by Nucleic acids (N). Lipids forming the membrane layer of cells and cell organelles come third. And lastly, Carbohydrates (C) are found as structural and functional support to proteins, and is stored in the cell as glycogen.
