Solution
The correct option is B Cholesterol
Steroid hormones are derived from cholesterol. They are in the form of lipids and synthesised by gonads and adrenal glands. For example. testosterone and estrogen are steroid sex hormones synthesised by gonads and corticoids (glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids and sexocorticoids) are synthesised by adrenal cortex. The receptors for steroid hormones are located inside the cells i.e. intracellular receptors. So, the correct answer is 'Cholesterol'.
