Answer: Option C) Triglycerides, long-chain hydrocarbon tails

Explanation:

Triglycerides are lipids, with three fatty acids (the same or different) having long hydrocarbon tails.

The hydrocarbon tails in triglycerides is the structural element that makes it insoluble in water as seen in the sample forming a separate layer on top of the water because it does not form hydrogen bonds with water molecules i.e hydrophobic

Thus, option C is the answer
