E Correct answer
Explanation

High-density lipoproteins (HDL) collect fat molecules (phospholipids, cholesterol, triglycerides, etc.) from the body's cells/tissues, and take it back to the liver. HDLs are sometimes referred to as good lipoprotein because higher concentrations correlate with low rates of atherosclerosis progression.
