Excess cholesterol builds up in your blood veins and arteries and can cause a heart attack as it blocks the blood from getting through. If a person eats too much cholesterol or doesn't use all the cholesterol they consume (live a very sedentary lifestyle, etc) then it can be very bad for them. Cholesterol is good when consumed in moderate proportions.

A. cholesterol is one type of steroid.
B is wrong because it is not amino acid.
C is wrong because it increases the chance of this disease by depositing in blood vessels.
D is wrong because it is neither saturated nor unsaturated. lipids are fats not the cholesterol.
