Answer:

option (a).

Explanation:

Biomolecules are the important organic molecules that plays an important role in the living organism. Four important biomolecules are carbohydrate, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids.

Lipids consist of fatty acids that contain the hydrophobic hydrocarbon tail and the hydrophilic head that contains the carboxylic acids. Lipids can be easily tested by dissolving them in water. Lipids are insoluble in water and starts floating on the surface of water. Lipids are easily soluble in organic solvents. Some lipids may also form micelles in water.
