Solution

The correct option is B Cholesterol
Mycoplasma is also called as PPLO (pleuropneumonia). It is a genus of bacteria that does not contain the cell wall and has only cell membrane (plasmalemma) that bound the cell. Plasmalemma is rich in cholesterol. It contains a very high concentration of unesterified cholesterol along with sphingomyelin.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
