The correct option is A Oestrogen
Steroids are complex organic compounds. In their skeletal frame, 30 carbon atoms are arranged in four interlocking rings. They differ from one another by a single atom or chemical bond. Each ring shares one or two sides with another ring. Cholesterol, testosterone, oestrogen, progesterone are some examples of steroids. Oestrogen is involved in the development of secondary sexual characters in females. Thus the correct answer is option D.
