Saturated fat is is found in which of the following?
A
Alcohol
B
Olive Oil and Canola Oil
C
Meat and Poultry
D
All of the Above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Saturated fats are found in animal-based foods like beef, pork, poultry, full-fat dairy products and eggs and tropical oils like coconut, and palm.

Detailed explanation-2: -Meat fat comprises mostly monounsaturated and saturated fatty acids, with oleic (C18:1), palmitic (C16:0), and stearic acid (C18:0) being the most ubiquitous. Meat and meat products are considerable sources of cholesterol in the diet.

Detailed explanation-3: -Beef, lamb, and pork are all high in saturated fat. Even lean cuts of beef contain 4.5 grams of saturated per 100-gram serving. Whole milk contains 4.5 grams of saturated fat in a 1-cup serving, whereas the same amount of 1% milk contains only 1.5 grams.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chicken skin has had a bad rap for being high in fat. But most of the fat in chicken skin is healthy, unsaturated fat-and cooking with the skin keeps the chicken flavorful and moist, so you don’t need to add as much salt or use a breaded coating. Trade fish, nuts or tofu for beef and pork.
