The correct answer is:
Five
Lipid-soluble hormones enter inside the target cells and binds to their specific intracellular receptors to form H-R complex. This complex finally moves and binds to DNA inside the nucleus causes change in gene expression to give a physiological response. From the given list, five (estrogen, cortisol, aldosterone, testosterone and thyroxine) are steroid or lipid-soluble hormones.
