Solution

The correct option is A Phospholipid
Biological membranes or the cell membranes are made up of a bilayer of phospholipids. Membrane phospholipids are amphipathic having a polar head made of phosphorous and a non-polar lipid tail. The polar phosphate head is exposed on the surface while non-polar lipids are embedded within the interior of the membrane.
Hence the correct option is A.
