Solution

The correct option is A Lipid
The plasma membrane or cell membrane is the outer covering of all cells but in a plant cell, it is present below the cell wall. It is mainly composed of phospholipid bilayer structure with the embedded proteins. The fluid nature of membranes is due to the lipids. The lipids can be saturated or unsaturated. More the unsaturation in lipids more the fluidity of the membrane.
