- C. Safflower oil
- D. Fish oil
Answer
A. Margarine
Step-by-step solution
Margarine is produced by the catalytic hydrogenation of liquid vegetable oils, which converts the unsaturated fatty acids into saturated fatty acids to make it solid at room temperature. Therefore, it contains mainly saturated fats. Olive oil, safflower oil, and fish oil are rich in unsaturated fats (monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats). Answer: Margarine
