The correct answer is D.large & hydrophilic.

Here’s the reasoning behind this:

1.Hydrophobic molecules (non-polar molecules) pass through the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane more easily because the interior of the membrane is also hydrophobic. So, small & hydrophobic molecules can generally pass through the membrane more readily.

2.Small & hydrophilic molecules (polar molecules) have some difficulty passing through the hydrophobic interior of the membrane, but since they are small, they can sometimes pass through via passive transport or with the help of specific membrane proteins (e.g., channels or transporters).

3.Large & hydrophobic...
