The hydrophobic (water-repelling) portion of a phospholipid is A.the fatty acids.

Phospholipids are composed of a glycerol backbone, fatty acid chains, and a phosphate group. The fatty acid chains are hydrophobic, meaning they do not interact well with water. These chains consist of long hydrocarbon (carbon and hydrogen) tails that are repelled by water and tend to face inward in the lipid bilayer, away from the aqueous environment.
