The correct option is A

Wax


A simple lipid is a fatty acid ester of different alcohols and carries no other substance. Waxes are simple lipids.
Lecithins are usually phospholipids, composed of phosphoric acid with choline, glycerol or other fatty acids usually glycolipids or triglyceride.
Cephaline are also phospholipids present in the brain. And phopholipids as the name indicates contain a phosphate group attached to the lipid molecules. Such lipids are compound lipids.
