The direction that the tails of plasma membrane usually face is toward the middle.

  • The plasma membrane can be regarded as membrane that serve as boundaries between the cell and environment.
  • They can as well be referred to as cell membrane,  they regulate transport of materials both inside and outside the cell, It has a lipid bilayer
  • In the formation of cellular membranes, There is assemblage of the phospholipids into two parts, base on their properties.
  • These are,:

hydrophilic head

two hydrophobic tails

  • These properties are essential to plasma membrane because once phospholipids comes across water.
  • the phospholipids will just rearrange itself so that the hydrophobic tails will be at the middle,  facing each other , then the hydrophilic heads will face out.
  • Because of the hydrophobic properties of the tail they always try to avoid water and that is why they face each other towards the middle.

Therefore, option C is correct because the tails is hydrophobic in nature
