Solution

The correct option is D Phospholipids
When phospholipids are mixed with water then the hydrophobic regions find ways to remove themselves from water and hydrophilic regions interact with water resulting in a structure called lipid bilayer, such as in the plasma membrane of a cell. So the correct option is "phospholipids".
