Solution

The correct option is C Both A and B
The plasma membrane (also known as the cell membrane) is the outermost cell surface, which separates the cell from the external environment. The plasma membrane is made up of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins. In the lipid bilayer structure, phospholipids have one hydrophilic head and two hydrophobic tails. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
