Explanation

Proteins are made of one or more polypeptide chains. Polypeptides are chains of amino acids, while peptides are shorter chains of amino acids; individual amino acids are the simplest units. So the order from most complex to least complex is proteins, polypeptides, peptides, and amino acids, which is choice A.
