What is the relative activity of the following mineralocorticoid drugs? A. A>C>B>DB. A>B>C>DC. C>A>D>BD. D>C>B>AE. C>B>A>D The image displays four chemical structures labeled A, B, C, and D. Each structure represents a complex organic molecule, likely forms of steroids, composed of rings and various functional groups. Here is a detailed breakdown:### Structure A- **Backbone**: Four interconnected carbon rings.- **Functional Groups**: - Hydroxyl groups (OH) are attached at specific carbon atoms. - Additional methyl (CH₃) groups. - A double-bonded oxygen (carbonyl group) on one of the rings.### Structure B- **Backbone**: Similar to structure A with four carbon rings.- **Functional Groups**: - Hydroxyl groups (OH) positioned differently than in structure A. - Presence of double bonds within the ring structure.### Structure C- **Backbone**: Four-ringed structure akin to the previous molecules.- **Functional Groups**: - Positioned hydroxyl groups (OH). - Distinct locations of double bonds compared to structures A and B.### Structure D- **Backbone**: Consists of the four-carbon ring pattern.- **Functional Groups**: - Hydroxyl group placement. - Presence of halogen atoms, indicated by F (fluorine), modifying the molecule distinctively. - Different pattern of carbonyl groups and double bonds.Each structure highlights variations in organic chemistry that can significantly affect molecular properties and biological activity.
