The correct answer is:
B

Statements and are incorrect. Many different molecules can pass through the plasma membrane, including small non-polar molecules (such as oxygen and carbon dioxide) and small uncharged polar molecules (such as water), although some large uncharged molecules, such as glucose, cannot. Due to the hydrophobic nature of the lipid bilayer that makes up the cell membrane, some hydrophilic charged molecules, such as DNA, cannot flow through the cell membrane.
