Cholesterol has a complex structure consisting of four interconnected aromatic rings.These rings are fused together in a specific pattern and arranged in a planar configuration.
In chemistry, a planar configuration refers to a molecular arrangement where atoms or groups of atoms lie in the same plane. In other words, the atoms are arranged in a flat, two-dimensional arrangement rather than being oriented in three-dimensional space. In the case of cholesterol's aromatic structure, the interconnected rings are arranged in a planar configuration, meaning they lie in the same plane. This planar arrangement is important for the molecule's stability and interactions with other molecules.Thus, this aromatic structure provides stability and allows cholesterol to interact with other molecules. It also plays a role in cholesterol's biological functions and serves as a precursor for the synthesis of steroid hormones.

Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
