The best answer would be HUMANS.

This is because organic compounds are essentially carbon based compounds and the human body is made up of many such compounds such as the protein that makes up skin, hair, nails, hormones and enzymes; gylcoproteins that are essential for cell membrane; fat found in skin and other tissues.

Answer:

Humans

Step-by-step explanation:

Organic compounds are molecules that are present in living systems. These are mainly characterised by the presence of carbon (C) atoms which are linked together in the form of linear chains or arranged in ring like structures. In addition to carbon, organic compounds also contain other atoms like hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), nitrogen(N) and sulfur (S).

The human body is mainly composed of organic compounds like proteins, lipids, amino acids, sugars and carbohydrates.
