3.they can be removed by the body.
4.There is an equal concentration of enzymes responsible for lipid synthesis in both leaflets of the smooth ER membrane.

ah, sorry the third option should be read as:

Enzymes in the smooth ER detoxify water-soluble compounds into lipid-soluble compounds, so they can be removed by the body.

3. Enzymes in the smooth ER detoxify water-soluble compounds into lipid-soluble compounds, so they can be removed by the body. [It's actually the opposite, hydroxyl groups are added so that they become water soluble.]
4. There is an equal concentration of enzymes responsible for lipid synthesis in both leaflets of the smooth ER membrane.
