Answer;

E) none of them dissolves in water

Step-by-step explanation;

-Lipids refer to organic biochemicals such as fats, oils, sterols, phospholipids, lipoproteins and waxy elements. Lipids store energy, are structural components of cell membranes and also help in the synthesis of vitamins and hormones.

Lipids are water-insoluble (hydrophobic), and this property is put to great use in the organisation of cells and tissues. Lipids can normally be extracted from cells using non-polar solvents such as chloroform or benzene.
