Solution

The correct option is B Lipids
Cholesterol also plays a role in synthesizing the steroid hormones aldosterone, which is used for osmoregulation, and cortisol, which plays a role in metabolism.
Cholesterol is also the precursor to bile salts, which help in the emulsification of fats and their absorption by cells. Hence, Lipids is responsible for steroid production.
So, the correct answer is 'Lipids'.
