Explanation:

Cell membranes are primarily composed of phospholipids which form a bilayer. This bilayer structure separates the inside of the cell from the outside environment. Triglycerides are energy - storage molecules, steroids have various functions like hormone production but are not the main component of cell membranes, and sphingolipids are present in cell membranes but phospholipids are the most abundant and characteristic lipid component for membrane formation.

Answer:

Phospholipids
