### Question on Molecular Structure: Educational Exercise

#### Diagram Description:
The image contains a chemical structure of a complex organic molecule. This molecule appears to be a steroid, characterized by its fused ring system. The structure includes four fused rings (three six-membered cyclohexane rings and one five-membered cyclopentane ring). Key features include:
- A hydroxyl group (–OH) attached to the first carbon of the first ring.
- Multiple hydrogen atoms (–H) attached to various carbons throughout the rings.
- A branched alkyl chain attached to the carbon of the last ring, which extends outwards.

The rings and substituents show stereochemistry, indicated by wedges (bonds extending out of the plane) and dashes (bonds going into the plane), representing three-dimensional configuration.

#### Question:
Choose all of the following that are true of the given structure?
(Choose **all** of the correct answers)
