Correct Answer � C
Explanation

The nonpolar lipid core consists of mainly triacylglycerol and cholesteryl ester and is surrounded by a single surface layer of amphipathic phospholipid and cholesterol molecules.
These are oriented so that their polar groups face outward to the aqueous medium, as in the cell membrane.
The protein moiety of lipoprotein is known as an apolipoprotein or apoprotein, constituting nearly 70% of some HDL and as little as 1% of chylomicrons
