Solution
The correct option is B Hydrophobic
Lipids are hydrophobic (water repelling) and non-polar. Non-polar substances, for instance fats and oils cannot be dissolved in water because they have made up of only carbon-carbon and hydrogen-carbon bonds. Only polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents.So, the correct option is 'Hydrophobic'.
