The correct answer is option 4, steroid hormones. Contraceptive pills in the market contain a combination of synthetic hormones, typically estrogen and progestin, which are both types of steroid hormones. These hormones work together to prevent pregnancy by suppressing ovulation, thickening the cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching the egg, and thinning the lining of the uterus to make it less receptive to implantation of a fertilized egg.

Option 1, inorganic compounds, is incorrect as contraceptive pills do not contain inorganic compounds.

Option 2, herbicides, is incorrect as contraceptive pills are not formulated with herbicides.

Option 3, antibiotics, is incorrect as contraceptive pills do not contain antibiotics.

Alert - correct answer should be option 4
