A) glycerophospholipid
as the name implies:
Glycerol, fatty acids (long acid chains), poshophate group, and amino alcohol (amino+alcohol groups)
B) sphingomyelin
as the name imploies --> sphingosine
sphingosine is typically accompanied by phosphate group
Then, the long chain of NH3+ R - R OH is actually an amino alcohol
Finally, due to COO - long R chain --> fatty acid
C) aldosterone
This is simple, as the name implies "sterone" there is only steroid present in the group
D) linoleic acid
as the name implies, there is --> fatty acid
also, no other componetn is present, since this is just a fatty acid by itself
