Solution

The option that is not a primary function of carbohydrates in the body is:

c. Building macromolecules, such as RNA, DNA, and ATP

While carbohydrates are involved in energy storage and provision, and they help prevent the breakdown of proteins and lipids for energy, they do not directly contribute to the building of macromolecules like RNA, DNA, and ATP. These macromolecules are primarily built from nucleotides, not carbohydrates.
