Protein Radiolabelling

This is the question:

You want to independently follow the synthesis of proteins exclusive to nucleic acids or carbohydrates, which of the following radio labels would be the most appropriate?

A. 35S B. 14C C. 32P D. 15N

I know that usually 35S is used for labelling proteins, but I don't know which would be used to distinguish between nucleic acid and carbohydrate.
