A. a monomer is a single molecular unit, used to build larger, polymeric molecules; a macromolecule is a very large molecules, often composed of polymers

B. a monomer is a small molecular block, used to built a macromolecule; arranging macromolecules together results in a polymer

C. a monomer is a small molecule, used as a modular unit to build other monomers or polymers; polymers or monomers are dehydrated to produce larger polymers, larger monomers or macromolecules, with macromolecules being the largest of the three.
