This lipid consists of three fatty acid molecules bonded to a glycerol molecule:
A
cholesterol
B
phospholipids
C
triglycerides
D
true fats
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Triacylglycerol (Triglyceride) Triacylglycerol is the major form of dietary lipid in fats and oils, whether derived from plants or animals. Triacylglycerol is composed of three fatty acids esterified to a glycerol molecule (Figure 4).

Detailed explanation-2: -Specialized lipids called phospholipids are major components of the plasma membrane. Like fats, they are typically composed of fatty acid chains attached to a backbone of glycerol.

Detailed explanation-3: -Triglycerides, or fats, are formed from the combination of glycerol and three fatty acid molecules. Triglycerides are formed through dehydration reactions. Another word for triglyceride is triacylglycerol. Fats can be solid (such as coconut oil) or liquid (such as vegetable oil) at room temperature.
