Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Biological membranes (like cell membranes) are mainly composed of a phospholipid bilayer, which means two phospholipid sheets (layers) with their hydrophobic tails facing inward and hydrophilic heads facing outward.

Answer:

A. The presence of two phospholipid sheets
