Solution

The correct option is D Estrogen
The origin of hormones can be steroid based, amino acid based and polypeptide based. The sex hormones androgens, estrogens and progesterone are steroid based hormones derived from cholesterol and not from the glycoprotein. Growth hormone, prolactin and luteinizing hormone are chemically glycoproteins.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
