im not sire if i selescted the right answer or not

Answer 1

Since the above structure composition conclude us that it contains aliphatic amino alcohol groups which is also know as sphingoid base.Therefore this structural feature crossponds us to family of sphingolipid.Hence this is correct one.

Since the triacyl glycerol and simple lipid has esters of fatty acid and glycerol backbone which is not in the structure.

The bile salts are the steroids or cholesterol derivatives which is not in our given structure.

Prostaglandin generally contain large number of carbon chain mostly 20 carbon at least and one 5 membered ring at least.So this is also not part a our given structure.
