The correct answer is d. diverse proteins embedded in a phospholipid bilayer.

The main components of plasma membrane are lipids (phospholipids), proteins and carbohydrates. The lipid bilayer gives fluidity to the membrane, protein molecules are embedded in that layer and carbohydrates are usually attached to  the proteins.
