Solution

The correct option is A Phospholipid
Plasma membrane is the outer covering of all cells but in the plant cell, it is present below the cell wall. It is mainly composed of phospholipid bilayer structure with embedded proteins. The lipid bilayer has one hydrophilic head and two hydrophobic tails. The other kinds of membrane lipids are glycolipids and cholesterol.
