    e. free fatty acids

    Explanation:

    Free fatty acids would most likely aggregate into a micelle rather than a lipid bilayer when mixed with water.

    Free fatty acids produced by the activity of lipase enzyme on stored triglycerides in the cytoplasm.

    Micelles are the molecules of lipid which are arranged in a spherical manner which have a polar head and a hydrophobic tail. Micelles transport the fatty acids and insoluble monosaccharides.
