    D

    Explanation:

    The building blocks or monomers of proteins are called amino acids. There are 20 different kinds of amino acids. The amino acids form long chains that are proteins. Therefore, proteins are polymers of amino acids.

    Proteins are very important for the body because they have many different roles. They provide structure for tissues, act as enzymes, hormones and antibodies, aid in transportation and fluid regulation.

    Therefore, the correct answer is D. a polymer of amino acids.
