C.

Hydrophobic head and a hydrophobic tail

D.

Hydrophobic head and a hydrophilic tail

Correct option is A


The soap molecule has a hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail. Soap molecules typically have a hydrophilic (water-attracting) head and a hydrophobic (water-repelling) tail. This configuration allows soap molecules to interact with both water and oily substances, making them effective at emulsifying and removing dirt and grease from surfaces during washing.
