Answer:

The Answer is C amphipathic.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer here is C. A molecule that has both polar and nonpolar regions is called amphipathic. The polar end of the molecule is water-loving, or hydrophilic, and the nonpolar end of the molecule will be water-repelling, or hydrophobic. This means the molecules are able to connect both to other water molecules, and to molecules of other substances.
