Solution

The correct option is A Cholesterol
Steroids like cholesterol are crystallisable lipids having four hydrocarbon rings (phenanthrene, consisting of three cyclohexane and one cyclopentane) and a long hydrocarbon side chain. Fatty acids are absent. Sterols are precursors of steroid hormone and vitamin D. They are essential for plant growth and flowering. Cholesterol forms bile salts and hence, essential for absorption of fatty acids.
