Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fact that the molecule contains carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur makes it likely to be a biomolecule such as a protein or a nucleic acid. However, the presence of nitrogen and sulfur suggests that it is more likely to be a glycoprotein which has sugar chains attached to it. Therefore, option B is the best choice.
