A) soaps have a longer hydrophobic tail than detergents. B) soaps have a negatively charged polar head while detergents have a positively charged polar head. C) detergents have two hydrophobic tails whereas soaps have only one hydrophobic tail. D) the polar head of soaps is always a carboxylate group; the polar head of detergents is never a carboxylate group.

It's a finish the sentence thing, you pick one of the two in the bracets.Soaps are traditionally described as sodium salts. They consist of a carboxylate, which is the [" Polar ", " Non-Polar"] end, as well as a hydrocarbon portion, which is the ["Polar", "Non-Polar"] end. The carboxylate end is often described as the ["Head", "Tail"] , while the hydrocarbon portion is often described as the ["Head", "Tail"] .
