Why tail of lipids in the membrane are towards inner part

A

The tail is non polar hydrocarbon and so protected within an aqueous environment

B

The tail is polar hydrocarbon and so is protected from aqueous environment

C

The nonpolar or hydrophobic hydrocarbon tails of lipid, being on inner side ensures their protection from aqueous environment

D

The tail is hydrophilic so it tends to be located in the aqueous inner side of membrane

Answer

The nonpolar or hydrophobic hydrocarbon tails of lipid, being on inner side ensures their protection from aqueous environment
