Final answer:

A) Macromolecules are large polymers made of smaller monomers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between monomer, polymer, and macromolecules can be described as follows:

  • Option A: Macromolecules are large polymers made of smaller monomers.

The correct statement is Option A. Macromolecules are indeed large polymers made of smaller monomers. Monomers are single subunits that combine together using covalent bonds to form larger molecules known as polymers. In this process, monomers release water molecules as byproducts. This reaction is known as dehydration synthesis or condensation reaction.
