Detailed explanation-1: -Saturated fats are composed of hydrocarbon chains that consist of either carbon-carbon or carbon-hydrogen single bonds . As hydrocarbon chains are nonpolar, they repel water and do not dissolve in water easily. Hence, option d is correct.

Detailed explanation-2: -Liquid water is held together by hydrogen bonds. (Liquid water has fewer hydrogen bonds than ice.) Oils and fats not have any polar part and so for them to dissolve in water they would have to break some of waters hydrogen bonds. Water will not do this so the oil is forced to stay separate from the water.

Detailed explanation-3: -Saturated fats are made up of chains of carbon molecules that do not contain any double bonds between the carbon molecules. Therefore, these carbon molecules contain the highest number of hydrogen atoms possible. Saturated fats are usually solid at room temperature, do not spoil quickly, and have high melting points.

Detailed explanation-4: -AI Recommended Answer: dissolve in water easily.

Detailed explanation-5: -Saturated fatty acids lack double bonds between the individual carbon atoms, while in unsaturated fatty acids there is at least one double bond in the fatty acid chain. Saturated fats tend to be solid at room temperature and from animal sources, while unsaturated fats are usually liquid and from plant sources.
