Products of complete hydrolysis of cardiolipin are:

A
3 glycerol, 4 fatty acids , 2 phosphates
B
3 glycerol, 4 fatty acids , 1 phosphates
C
3 glycerol, 3 fatty acids , 2 phosphates
D
5 glycerol, 4 fatty acids , 2 phosphates
High-Yield Explanation
3 glycerol, 4 fatty acids , 2 phosphates Cardiolipin is a complex phospholipid, which can be antigenic. The structure is glycerol attached to two phosphatidic acids. Each phosphatidic acid contains one glycerol, 2 FA and one phosphate. So in total 3 glycerol, 4 fatty acids, 2 phosphates are present in cardiolipin.
