Answer:

B) enter the nucleus and change gene expression in a target cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

Steroid hormones moves through plasma membrane of a target cell. Once inside the cell, it sticks to intracellular receptors residing in the nucleus which produces an activated hormone-receptor complex. The activated hormone-receptor complex binds to DNA. This activates specific genes, increases proteins production which leads to change in gene expression.
