Answer:

option C. prostaglandins

Explanation:

The steroids are the organic compounds that are biologically active. They act as a signaling molecule and also alters the fluidity of plasma membrane. They are not similar to lipids as steroids have fused four rings.

The peptides are composed of amino acids that are attached by peptide bonds. The peptides forms proteins. Thus, peptides are not lipids.

The prostaglandins are eicosanoids that are composed of lipids. These are derived from arachidonic acid (fatty acid) and have hormone like effect. Thus, option C is correct.
