View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
CH3−(CH2)14−CH2NH2\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_3} - {\left( {\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_2}} \right)_{14}} - \mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_2}\mathrm{N}{\mathrm{H}_2}
Option B (CH3−(CH2)14−CH2NH2\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_3} - {\left( {\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_2}} \right)_{14}} - \mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_2}\mathrm{N}{\mathrm{H}_2}) is correct because it only contains a hydrophobic part (the long alkyl chain) and a weakly hydrophilic part (amine group), but lacks a sufficiently strong hydrophilic group to act as a surfactant.
