In this scenario, how are the soap, dirt/oil, and water arranged at the molecular level?
A. The soap encloses the dirt/oil within a small droplet that has a hydrophobic exterior and a hydrophilic interior.
B. Water and dirt/oil form covalent bonds inside a small droplet that has a soap-based outer membrane.
C. The soap molecules encase the dirt/oil within a small droplet that has a water-loving exterior and a water-repelling interior.
D. The soap is converted into a lipid that binds to the dirt/oil while repelling the water.
