The correct combination is:

• A. Only C
• B. Only D

• D. All

Answer 1

The correct option is C C and D only

Option (C) is correct. Lipids are stored in adipose tissues and bone marrow. In adipose cells, they are stored in specialized fat cells called adipocytes, found around organs and under the skin as a cushioning and insulative layer. Human fat tissue contains about 87% lipids. Adipocytes have an almost unlimited capacity to store lipids in cell organelles called lipid droplets, which can grow to a very large size.
