Solution

The correct option is D None of the above
Lipids are polymers of fatty acids. They could be simple fatty acids or with glycerol or alcohols. They are insoluble in water. Oils and fats are esters of glycerol and three fatty acids. A wax is an ester of a long-chain alcohol and a fatty acid. Thus, oils, fats and waxes all are lipids.
