B:
C:
D:
Correct Answer
A
Explanation
Fats are solids at room temperature while oils are liquids. This difference is primarily due to their differing com positions of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids.
Oils are generally higher in unsaturated fatty acids, which have double bonds and keep the molecules from packing closely together. Fats, on the other hand, are typically higher in saturated fatty acids, which lack double bonds and allow the molecules to pack more tightly, resulting in a solid state.
