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.
