The lipid that is shown is sphingomyline phosphatidyl. Option C

One kind of sphingolipid is sphingomyelin, which belongs to the class of lipids that contain sphingosine, an amino alcohol. A significant element of cell membranes, especially those of nerve cells (neurons), is sphingomyelin. It is made composed of a phosphate group, a choline molecule, a fatty acid chain, and a sphingosine backbone.

The components of phosphatidylcholine are a choline molecule, two fatty acid chains, a phosphate group, and a glycerol backbone.
