A
(It is not B, as straight chains are due to hydrocarbon chains, which are found in polymers of lipids [fats])
(It is not C, as Chitin itself is a polysaccharide - so that just wouldn't make sense)
(It is not D, as this would technically be describing unsaturated fats... but not really. there are no double carbon bonds within carbs.)
