Answer:c. Steroids/cholesterols and phospholipids

Explanation:

A phospholipid is a kind of lipid that is made up of glycerol, two fatty acids in tail and a head group associated with the head group. The biological membrane forms two layers of phospholipids with their tails that points inwards and the arrangement is called as the phospholipid bilayer.

The cholesterol is the another membrane lipid in the cell membrane. It is composed of fused carbon rings present along the side of phospholipids.
