    c. Many of their bonds are C-C and C-H

    Explanation:

    The majority of bonds in carbohydrates and lipids (being an organic compound) are C-C and C-H. Like glucose, fructose or galactose, etc.

    These bonds are strong and do require a lot of energy to break. Thus, a lot of energy are required to break carbs and lipids into simpler compounds. Therefore, carbohydrates and lipids have high potential energy.

    The correct answer is c.
