Give an example of a finite non-abelian group $G$ which contains a subgroup $H_0 \neq (e)$ such that $H_0 \subset H$ for all subgroups $H \neq (e)$ of $G$.

Can someone help me please?

Consider the Quaternion group $Q_8$ and the subgroup $H_0=\{1,-1\}$

    $Q_8={\pm 1, \pm i, \pm j, \pm k}$ and $H_1={\pm1, \pm i}=$, $H_2={\pm1, \pm j}=$ and $H_3={\pm1, \pm k}=$ .Finally $H_o \subset H_s$, for all $s=1,2,3$ –  Jul 25 '17 at 03:34
