The molecules listed are represented in a coded format, but based on the context of the question, option D likely represents a complex, large, or polar molecule. Transport proteins are typically required for the movement of large, polar, or charged molecules across the plasma membrane, as these cannot easily pass through the lipid bilayer. Options A, B, and C, by contrast, likely represent smaller or less complex molecules (such as gases or simple molecules) that can diffuse directly through the membrane without assistance.
