Answer
B. Omega-3 fatty acids
Step-by-step solution
Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids that are known to increase the level of High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL), which is considered good cholesterol, in the blood. They also help in lowering triglyceride levels, thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Trans fats, on the other hand, lower HDL levels and raise LDL (bad cholesterol) levels.
