    Cholesterol has to be part of the lipoprotein.

    Quote from this site:

    Lipoproteins are complex aggregates of lipids

    and proteins that render the lipids compatible

    with the aqueous environment of body fluids

    and enable their transport throughout the body.

    Therefore,

    I believe the answer would be A. Receptor-mediated endocytosis.

    Here is a link for you to read and decide:

    Here is a link that states:

    "Cells take up cholesterol by receptor-mediated endocytosis".

    Cholesterol is an essential component of all cell membranes.
