Solution
The correct option is A (i) Phospholipids (ii) Glycolipids
When simple lipids combine with other functional groups they form compound lipids. And based on the functional group they acquire they can be further classified. If they have a phosphate group bound to a glyceride, they are called phopholipids. If the functional group bound to the glyceride is a carbohydrate moiety like glucose or galactose, or a polysaccharide they come under the group of glycolipids.
Sphingolipids similarly are another group of compound lipids, which are fatty acid derivatives of sphingosine molecule.
Galactolipids and glyceroglycolipids are all types of glycolipids.
