Answer: The correct answer is A). Is mostly lipid while the whole cell is mostly aqueous .

This is because the cell membrane is majorly composed of the phospholipid bilayer. It is a protective covering present in all the cells.  

On the other hand, the whole cell other than the cell membrane is mostly aqueous. It contains 80% of water, therefore considered as aqueous. It is also referred to as cytoplasm of the cell. Most of the cellular activity including metabolic processes and signaling pathways occur within the cytoplasm of the cell.

The composition of a cell differs from that of the cell membrane in that the cell membrane is mostly lipid while the whole cell is mostly aqueous.

Further Explanation:

Cell is surrounded by the cell membrane made up of lipid bilayer. The fluid mosaic model states that the cell membrane is made up of two layers of lipid and the proteins present externally, internally and in the transmembrane.

The lipid molecules are amphipathic having polar head and non-polar tail. The fatty acid present in the lipid may be saturated or unsaturated. Saturated fatty acid has presence of single bond while unsaturated one has double or triple bond present in them.

The protein present in the lipid bilayer can act as the channel molecule or receptor molecules.

The cell contains various cell organelles such as nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplast, ribosome, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi bodies. Mostly the cell contains fluid inside it called as cytoplasm. The cell organelles are suspended in the aqueous solution of the cytoplasm. Various chemical reactions occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.

The oldest rocks found on Earth are 3.96 billion years old. However, scientists believe the Earth is about 4.6 billion years old
MAVERICK [17]
As the earth has active tectonics we know that rocks are recycled and the oldest rocks may therefore just be the oldest rocks that have not been recycled yet. We know the true age of the earth by looking at radioactive isotopes of things like spacedust and meteors that formed at the same time as the earth as they have not been affected by the tectonic process of recycling here on Earth.
