Solution

The correct option is C $d, a, e, c, b$
The given compounds belong to the different category of biomolecules. Among these arachidonic acid and palmitic acid both are unsaturated and saturated fatty acids respectively. Arachidonic acid is 20-carbon unsaturated fatty acid with 4 double bonds and its molecular formula is C20H40O32. Palmitic acid is a 16-C saturated fatty acid with molecular formula C16H32O2. Glucose and ribose are monosaccharides with 6 and 5 carbon atoms respectively. Glucose (C6H12O6) is a hexose sugar while ribose (C5H10O5) is a pentose sugar. Serine is an amino acid with 3 carbon atoms.
Arachidonic acid- 20 C
Palmitic acid - 16 C
Glucose - 6 C
Ribose - 5 C
Serine - 3 C
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
