Option B.Membranes become more fluid when either the temperature or the unsaturated lipid content increases. To maintain optimal membrane fluidity under changing temperature conditions, cells regulate the expression of lipid desaturases, which provide a crucial balance between saturated and unsaturated membrane lipids
