The answer is the second one: Lipids.

Explanation for each option:

  • Carbohydrates: These are organic compounds made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, typically in a ratio of 1:2:1. They are not oils and fats.
  • Lipids: This is the correct category for oils and fats. Lipids are a group of naturally occurring molecules that include fats, oils, waxes, and certain vitamins, among others. They are hydrophobic or amphipathic small molecules.
  • Nucleic acids: These are biopolymers essential for all known forms of life, including DNA and RNA. They are not related to oils and fats.
  • Proteins: These are large biomolecules consisting of one or more long chains of amino acid residues. They are not oils and fats.

In summary, oils and fats are classified as lipids.
