Exaptation
Explanation:
In this example, the lateral extensions that developed were meant for thermoregulation.
But these became sufficiently large to support gliding through the air and later on were used for flight.
Thus the structure assumed a function for which it was not meant and its original function shifted to a completely different dimension giving rise to modern insect wings. So we can say that this is an example of Exaptation.

The correct answer is a - Lipid
Lipids are not considered as macromolecules because unlike proteins, carbohydrates and nucleic acids which polymers, lipids are composed of a single unit made up a glycerol backbone to which two or three fatty acids are linked.
Lipids are not polymers made up of individual subunits called monomers. They contain only one molecule and are not macromolecuels.
Examples of lipids include waxes, steroids, phospholipids and detergents. Lipids are generally hydrophobic and insoluble in water.
This has to do with SURFACE TO VOLUME RATIO. For a typical small cell, its surface area to the volume ratio get smaller as the cell grows. This implies that, if the cell grows beyond a certain limit, then the amount of nutrients that entered the cell will be limited, that is , nutrients will not be able to migrate into the cell as needed. To avoid this, the cell has to divide to reduce its surface to volume ratio.<span />
