Answer:

A. Cholesterol

Step-by-step explanation:

Cholesterol is an amphipathic lipid. It is grouped under the category of sterols. Cholesterol has a polar head group. The non-polar part of the cholesterol consists of a steroid nucleus and a hydrocarbon side chain. Cholesterol is also present in biological membranes of eukaryotes and regulates their fluidity.
