Identify the lipoprotein that is incorrectly matched with its respective function.
A) chylomicrons: transport ingested dietary lipids to adipose tissue for storage
B) very low-density lipoproteins: transport excess cholesterol to the liver for excretion or synthesis of bile salts
C) low-density lipoproteins: transport cholesterol to adrenal glands for synthesizing steroid hormones
D) high density lipoproteins: remove excess cholesterol from the body cells and the blood
