A
Lipids
B
Carbs
C

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Like all other cellular membranes, the plasma membrane consists of both lipids and proteins. The fundamental structure of the membrane is the phospholipid bilayer, which forms a stable barrier between two aqueous compartments.

Detailed explanation-2: -What Are Cellular Membranes Made Of? With few exceptions, cellular membranes-including plasma membranes and internal membranes-are made of glycerophospholipids, molecules composed of glycerol, a phosphate group, and two fatty acid chains.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cell Membrane (Plasma Membrane) The cell membrane consists of a lipid bilayer that is semipermeable.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lipids are the main component of cellular membranes. They are highly diverse in structure, and the distribution of different lipids and their species (membrane lipid composition) varies at the organism, cell type, organelle, membrane, bilayer-leaflet and membrane subdomain level.
