    The correct answer is b. catecholamines.

    Catecholamines are monoamines derived from the amino acid tyrosine.

    Arachidonic acid is a carboxylic acid present in the phospholipids that is a precursor for different molecules. The enzymes cyclooxygenases concert this acid into prostaglandins and then to thromboxanes.
