Solution
The correct option is B Steroids
The steroids are composed of seventeen carbon atoms, bonded in four fused rings: three six-membered cyclohexane rings and one five-membered cyclopentane ring. The steroids differ in the functional group attached to this four-ring core and by the oxidation state of the ring.Steroids such as cholestrol decrease membrane fluidity. Like lipids, these are highly concentrated energy stores. They are normally metabolized and excreted.So, the correct option is 'Steroids'.
