A

Individual lipid molecules are free to diffuse laterally in the surface of the bilayer is a general feature of the lipid bilayer in all biological membranes

Explanation:

The inside of the bilipid layer of the cell membrane of cells is made of fatty acid chains and cholesterol which are nonpolar molecules. they are sandwiched between the polar (glycerol) ends of the  chains because they are hydrophobic and cannot interact with the ‘watery’ extracellular fluids.  Non-polar molecules like lipids can easily diffuse laterally, within this lipid layers of the membrane because non-polar molecules interact well with other nonpolar molecules.
