  2. BOlive oil
  3. CSafflower oil
  4. DFish oil

Correct answer

A. Coconut oil

Step-by-step solution

Saturated fats are typically solid at room temperature and contain single bonds between carbon atoms in their fatty acid chains. Coconut oil is composed of approximately 80 % to 90 % saturated fat, primarily lauric acid, myristic acid, and palmitic acid. Olive oil is mainly composed of monounsaturated fats (oleic acid). Safflower oil and fish oil are rich in polyunsaturated fats (such as linoleic acid and omega-3 fatty acids, respectively). Therefore, coconut oil is mainly a saturated fat. Answer: Coconut oil
