Hi, I had a doubt about this question. I chose the answer A but the answer is D according to the marking scheme
I thought that since phospholipids have a hydrophilic phosphate head, it forms hydrogen bonds with water stabilising the membrane so it couldn't be the answer
Could someone explain why A is wrong and D is correct?
