The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the type of proteins that allow water-soluble materials to pass through. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The options provided are: - A) Extrinsic protein - B) Channel protein - C) Spectrin - D) Glycoprotein 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Extrinsic Protein**: These proteins are located on the surface of the cell membrane and do not facilitate the passage of water-soluble materials. - **Channel Protein**: These proteins form channels in the cell membrane that allow specific substances, including water-soluble materials, to pass through. This is the key function we are looking for. - **Spectrin**: This is a type of cytoskeletal protein that provides structural support to the plasma membrane but does not facilitate the transport of water-soluble materials. - **Glycoprotein**: These are proteins with carbohydrate groups attached, and while they play roles in cell recognition and signaling, they do not primarily function as channels for water-soluble materials. 4. **Selecting the Correct Answer**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **B) Channel protein**. These proteins are specifically designed to allow the passage of water-soluble materials across the cell membrane. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the water-soluble materials pass through the proteins called **channel proteins**. ---
