Answer:
The correct answer is B. travel through the cell membrane and bind to an intracellular receptor inside.
Estrogen is a type of steroidal hormone which plays many important role in female reproductive system and reproductive cycle.
Being steroidal in nature, it is fat-soluble due to which it easily passes across cell membrane (phospholipid bilayer) without the help of any carrier protein.
Within cell, it binds to the receptor present in the cytoplasm of the cell.
The receptor bound estrogen then passes across the nuclear membrane and binds to another receptor present on the chromatin.
There it produces its effects in terms of expressiveness of a particular gene.
