Solution

The correct option is D Triglycerides
Lipids are estres of fatty acids and alcohol. These are hydrophobic in nature and they are insoluble in water but are soluble in organic solvents like benzene, ether and chloroform.
Simple lipids are the esters of fatty acid and glycerol. Fats and oils are the triglycerides of fatty acid and glycerol.
So, the correct option is 'Triglycerides'
