Examples include amino acids,simple sugars,and secondary metabolites.$2$. Macromolecules have a molecular weight greater than $1000 	ext{ Da}$. Examples include proteins,polysaccharides,and nucleic acids.$3$. Fats (lipids) are generally considered micromolecules because their molecular weight is usually less than $800 	ext{ Da}$,but they are often found in the acid-insoluble fraction due to their hydrophobic nature.$4$. Among the given options,secondary metabolites are classic examples of micromolecules.Therefore,the correct answer is $B$.
