The correct answer is C. There are different types of lipids including: triglycerides (explained by A), cholesterol (explained by B), and phospholipids (explained by C). And, in this case, all three types of lipids are extremely different from one another, but the one commonality they have is that they all have a distaste for water, which is why C is the correct answer.
