Why are receptors for steroid hormones located inside the cell rather than on the membrane ...

Why are receptors for steroid hormones located inside the cell rather than on the membrane surface?
A) The receptors can be stimulated to exit to the membrane surface under conditions in which a cell needs to be regulated by the steroid hormone.
B) Steroid hormones are lipid soluble and thus can readily diffuse through the lipid bilayer that makes up the cell membrane.
C) The receptors are repressible, meaning they are actively altering cell function unless the target hormone is present.
D) Cells with steroid hormone receptors inside the cell are not able to respond to steroid hormones.
