I think its C right because the phospholipid bilayer?

You are right.
(C), i.e. Lipid is correct option. This is because Lipid is made up of a long chain of hydrocarbons (R) and a carboxylic group (COOH).
The Hydrocarbon chain (R) is hydrophobic (water repelling) while as Carboxylic group (COOH)is hydrophilic (water living).
Therefore, Lipid is both hydrophobic as well as hydrophobic.
**********************************
The compunds which are both hydrophobic as well as hydrophobic are called Amphipathic. Therefore, Lipids are Amphipathic in nature.
**********************************
Lipids are insolube in water. The reason is that the Hydrocarbon chain which forms the main part of the lipis is hydrophobic.
