The correct answer is (a) Cycloalkane

To explain I would say: Steroids contain cycloalkane rings. They are a particular class of organic molecules that contain cycloalkane rings, which are produced by both plants and animals. They are used as anti-inflammatory or anti-cancer drugs for organ transplantation, treatment of anemia, etc.
