The answer is the fourth one (4): proteins.

Explanation for each option:

  1. DNA: Incorrect. DNA is a nucleic acid that carries genetic information, not an enzyme.
  2. Lipids: Incorrect. Lipids are a group of naturally occurring molecules that include fats, waxes, and certain vitamins, but they do not function as enzymes.
  3. Carbohydrates: Incorrect. Carbohydrates are sugars and starches that provide energy, but they are not enzymes.
  4. Proteins: Correct. Almost all enzymes are proteins. Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in cells, and they are typically made up of proteins.
  5. Amino acids: Incorrect. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, but they are not enzymes themselves.

Summary: Enzymes are primarily proteins, which act as catalysts in various biological processes.
