None of them. It corresponds to the group you told g_gyrate to analyse. 
See g_gyrate -h. Since you haven't told us which group you told g_gyrate 
to use, you've forced me to guess that you told it to work on all your 
surfactant molecules. If you'd given a full description of what you'd 
done, then you'd be more likely to have people wanting and able to help 
you, and thus be more likely to get useful help. Anyway, g_gyrate can't 
guess that you want it to look at some magic subsets of the whole 
system. You have to define the subsets, e.g. with g_select, and only 
then can g_gyrate compute properties on them.
