Answer:

Option C. Lipid-anchored membrane proteins always face the cell exterior.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lipid-anchored proteins are proteins located on the surface of the cell membrane which are attached to lipid and embedded within the cell membrane. The lipid-anchored proteins assume a place in the bilayer structure of the membrane.
