Question

Explanation:

Triglycerides are the storage form of lipids in the body. They are composed of glycerol and three fatty - acid chains. When the body has excess calories, they are converted into triglycerides and stored in adipose tissue. Phospholipids are mainly components of cell membranes. Steroids have functions like being part of hormones (e.g., cholesterol is a precursor for steroid hormones). Prostaglandins are involved in various physiological processes like inflammation but are not the storage form of lipids.

Answer:

C. Triglyceride
