most viruses form a capsid around their nucleic acid core. this capsid is composed of
proteins.
monosaccharides.
glycoproteins.
lipoproteins.

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the structure of a virus. A virus's capsid (the protein shell around the nucleic acid core) is made of protein subunits called capsomeres. Monosaccharides are simple sugars (not part of capsids). Glycoproteins have carbohydrate and protein, but capsids are mainly protein. Lipoproteins have lipid and protein, not capsid components. So the capsid is composed of proteins.

Answer:

A. proteins
