Solution

The correct option is D Nucleic acids
The principal components of the plasma membrane are lipids (phospholipids and cholesterol), proteins, and carbohydrate groups that are attached to some of the lipids and proteins. The nucleic acids are present in the nucleus in case of eukaryotes and in the case of prokaryotes in the cytoplasm.
