Solution
The correct option is A Davson and Danielli
Sandwich or Lamellar models explained that cell membranes contain both proteins and lipids in distinct layers. According to the Danielli and Davson model, plasma membrane consists of a double phospholipid layer and is surrounded on either side by a layer of hydrated globular proteins or P-L-L-P structure. The hydrophobic or non polar tails of the two lipid layers are towards the centre.Hence the correct option is A.
