Answer:

A) $C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}$

Explanation:

A monomer is essentially a small molecule which combines with another molecule of the same kind to form a macromolecule. When two or more number of monomer units react together they form a polymer through a process known as polymerization.

Carbohydrates are polymers made of monomers units which are simple sugars. The chemical formula $C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}$ corresponds to that of glucose. Starch which is a carbohydrate is formed by the polymerization of glucose.

<span>Because the early universe was so hot that even tough the conditions to create heavy elements were there, they will break apart immediately after their formation because it was too hot for the heavy elements to remain stable. It was only later after the universe cold down that elements weren’t break apart and the process of forming heavy elements could begin.</span>
