Solution

The correct option is D phosphoric acid
Phosphoric acid is not present in glycolipids but they are present in phospholipids. Glycolipids are fatty acids with carbohydrates attached. Glycosphingolipids are types of glycolipids. Gangliosides and cerebrosides that form glycosphingolipids ( carbohydrate + sphingolipid ) are two classes of glycolipids.
